Healing Through Words: Rupi Kaur

Product Information

Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is." - Gary Zukav In it, Rupi guides us gently through exercises that feel designed to be part self-help and part writer’s retreat. What I loved was how encouraging she was throughout. She really does make you feel like you, too, can be a poet. No small feat for those of us that are intimidated by writing anything personal let alone poetry. She affirms over and over that we all can be writers and gives us the tools to get there. I won’t lie to you; there are parts of this book that will be triggering for those with past traumas. Rupi asks us to confront the darkness in our pasts with bravery while at the same time making us feel like it’s okay and safe to do so. The overall effect is that she’s standing behind you, ready to give you a high five or a hug or perhaps just a cheeky wink from the corner of the room.

Overall, Healing Through Words is a must-read for anyone who is looking for a way to connect with their emotions and find healing in their pain. Kaur's words are a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is hope for a brighter tomorrow. It offers a variety of exercises that suit different styles and preferences of writing, such as free verse, haiku, sonnet, acrostic, etc. There are so many ways to heal.

It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness." - Reba McEntire When I heard that Rupi Kaur would have a new book out, I just went for it. I didn’t even read the description.
