Summer Channeled Poems (from Voices in my Head)

Summer Channeled Poems (from Voices in my Head)

For the two summers of 2008 and 2009, I spent many days in Nature. No electricity. No city. No house. It was quiet day after day. In these months outside I quickly began hearing voices in my head, poets of rhyming stories of Spiritual Seekers. I wrote them down and recorded them. This episode of Voice in your Head focuses on a couple of those stories shared with me, because they are teaching stories that might benefit you as well. :) They are "True Voices" and "Self Care". Enjoy!
