Kindness Heals: Embracing the Therapeutic Power of Poetry

Jurgita Gerulskyte

Sometimes we don't need to speak, to be heard.
Sometimes we just need to remember that stillness speaks. So that our hearts would naturally navigate towards the answers that they seek.
Sometimes what we are looking for can only be found within.
Embrace the newly arisen curiosity.
Do not allow your fears to win.
Sometimes we recognise ourselves in the words of another soul.
Sometimes we have to feel vulnerable and alone to remember that we are wise, capable and strong to carry on.
I hope this book of poems will bring you clarity and comfort during the darkest of days and that my words will remind you that no darkness is here to stay.
For you are never alone, however isolated you may feel.
Thus, do not let the feelings of loneliness to linger, so that you would clearly see.
I hope my poems will help you to cope with loneliness and isolation in meaningful ways.
So that the darkness of anxiety, stress or loneliness would not cloud your way.

I believe that poetry is good for mental health. As it is gently guiding us towards the better expression of ourselves by helping us to make sense of the world and our place in it.
We should never forget that our mental health is our biggest wealth. Not just for us, but also for those who care about us.
Therefore, I consider poetry to have a therapeutic effect on our minds, bodies and souls, helping us to better express our feelings, thoughts and emotions in authentically creative ways.
I trust that, once we are in alignment with our creativity, we grow in self-awareness, self-management and social efficiency.
I hope this collection of poems will gift you with self-empowerment and renewal.
I hope that within my words you will recognise yourself: vulnerable and strong, fearful and loving, lost and understood.
I hope my words will bring you peace and comfort during the times you are feeling misunderstood.
For you are never alone no matter the darkness around.
As your inner light is always shining bright and is patiently waiting to be found.

Therefore, spend your time lovingly on that what ignites peace and trust within your heart.
Spend your words wisely on people who know how to listen to your silent heart.
Spend your love on those who are open and ready to receive it.
As when love is real, you don't have to convince people to believe in it.

Always take care of yourself first.
So that you don't project your present hurts.
Heal the world by healing yourself.
Give your dreams a chance.
Always remain kind to yourself.

Blessings
