The Moments That Move Us

You know when you hear a song that speaks straight to your insides. Suddenly, your heart swells, your eyes fill with tears, or you feel that deep twist in your gut. Maybe it reaches a place that has been quietly waiting to be soothed. This is the essence of healing through poetry and song.

This is powerful medicine.

Poetry and song have a way of moving past the thinking mind and going straight to the heart. They connect us to parts of ourselves that are often overlooked or feel too tender to approach in any other way. Through rhythm, imagery, and sound, they give voice to what we may not yet have words for.

Why Poetry Matters, Especially Now

April is National Poetry Month, a time to celebrate the beauty and impact of language as art. But poetry is more than something we admire. It is something we experience.

Poetry invites us to slow down.
To feel.
To listen inwardly.

In a world that often asks us to move quickly and stay productive, poetry offers a different path. A path of presence, reflection, and emotional truth.

Writing poetry can be a release.
Reading or listening to poetry can be a mirror.
Song can carry us, hold us, and sometimes even transform us.

Together, they become a bridge between what we carry inside and what we are ready to heal.

Poetry as a Healing Practice

You do not need to be a poet to benefit from poetry.

Healing through poetry and song is not about crafting something perfect. It is about allowing expression. It is about letting what is within you move, breathe, and be witnessed.

Writing can help process emotions that feel tangled or overwhelming.
Listening can bring comfort, validation, and a sense of not being alone.
Sharing, when you are ready, can deepen connection with yourself and others.

At Healing Phases, we believe in gentle, creative pathways to healing. Approaches that honor your inner world without forcing or fixing it.

A Glimpse Into Jenny’s Work

We are honored to partner with Jenny of Soul Streakers, whose work beautifully weaves poetry and sacred song into a deeply intuitive healing experience.

Her words carry both depth and softness, inviting you into a space where feeling is welcome and expression is sacred.

Here is one of Jenny’s poems, offered as a moment to pause, feel, and receive whatever speaks to you.

Someone to Tell
Just like me
You
Had no one to tell
No wonder
You
Took your grief
To the bottle
Just like me
You
Had no one to tell
No wonder
You
Took your grief
Out on everyone
Just like me
You
Had no one to tell
No wonder
You
Took your grief
To the grave
That
Is where we part ways
No longer
Willing
To tell no one
I begin
To tell everyone
That
I am ok
But
I hurt
It hurt
It hurts
And
I need
Someone
To know that
To bear witness
To this pain
Besides me
Beside me
Reminding me
I am not the pain
I am not a pain
I am
I am
I am
That’s all
Tell all
I am
I am
Iam
And
I experience things
Some things
Are really hard
To bear
Alone
Thank you
For listening
Thank you
For knowing
Thank you
For being
Someone to tell
