A Journey of an Ascending Soul: Five Poetry Collections

What happens when the end of a 14-year relationship triggers years of upheaval-collapsing housing security, forcing exhausting relocations between countries with a beloved dog, and testing every limit-all while navigating the unpredictable challenges of cervical dystonia? For Edita (Edi), it meant turning to the page. While existential pressures built over years, the poetry was forged in an intense, high-stakes six-week period following that initial heartbreak. A Journey of an Ascending Soul is a deeply raw and inspiring collection divided into five distinct spiritual milestones: - The Closure: A raw, honest, and deeply authentic processing of the end of that 14-year bond, translating profound loss into verse and offering hope and a personally experienced roadmap for anyone trying to move forward when a long-term connection breaks apart.- Camino de Santiago: A gritty, unfiltered look at walking the historic pilgrimage solo out of season-facing freezing temperatures, heavy rain, hailstones, empty trails, and closed cafés and shelters, along with finding occasional fellow pilgrims to share the road-while battling the challenges of cervical dystonia, deep vulnerability, and a tense encounter being followed by a local cyclist in an isolated area.- A Yoga of My Daily Life: The anchor of the journey-exploring how ancient yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda provided a vital psychological and physical sanctuary when everything else fell apart and conventional medical treatments came up short.- A Small Book of Reflections: Written on the precipice of an uncertain future just before returning to Ireland, capturing the profound courage required to leap into the unknown.- Divine Collection: A poignant look toward the future, blending deep psychological self-reflection and shadow work with spiritual insights on shifting consciousness, the rising energetic frequency of our planet, and the dawn of a New Earth. Infused with humour, inner strength, and a wandering soul's trust in a higher power, this collection is a testament to the warrior spirit inside us all. Whether navigating personal heartbreak, chronic health challenges, or a major life transition, A Journey of an Ascending Soul offers a reassuring reminder that every rocky road has a divine purpose.
