    About this ebook

    Drawing inspiration from the likes of Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and Louise Hay, The Poetry of Healing: Pain to Peace is as much a journey of spiritual awakening as it is about overcoming the sadness and anxiety of separation. Although people easily understand the pain that comes with physical illness and injury, pain caused by injury to ones psyche is often not as easily understood or accepted.

    Following a difficult divorce in 2011, Phil Barlow began a powerful healing process through poetry and song that led him to discover the pathway to a simple and peaceful life:

    Its a journey for the brave
    We must allow ourselves to feel
    To discover the ultimate truth
    Its deeper than me or you
    Finding strength in surrender
    Where the mind has lost its reign
    On a path to the blissful unknown
    In a moment, your life can change

    This collection is a restorative story that transcends the pain of separation, loneliness and attachment, traversing to a place of self-love, presence and peace. There is purpose in this waking dream, and moving on from the past is possible. Barlow found a way to overcome limiting emotions in order to feel bliss, moment to moment, and so can you.

      This book is dedicated to all the brave hearts

      Who release the past and acknowledge its gifts

      To help us transcend to a higher state

      Where our soul and the world is a peaceful place

      Acknowledgments

      First and foremost I need to thank the spirit that guided my hand towards the page. That took the pain and put light in its way. To drive me through the hardest days with the gift of words to capture the change.

      A heartfelt thank you to my beautiful family and friends, who have been patient and loving as the man fell through. I’m sure it was hard to see him lost, and often to a place you could not see. I’m grateful and I love you all, there is purpose in this waking dream.

      I also want to thank the two deep loves of my past. I will not mention their names, out of respect, but you know who you are. We can only love in the ways we know. So thank you for the seeds that have led to this growth.

      Extending the heart to the world of form. Getting this book in your hands, from where it was born. There are many good people that have brought this dream alive. Thank you so much, to the good people by my side.

      Rachel Heaney, you are the kindest person I have ever met. Selfless warm and true, you are the gift that has helped
