Flowing Waters: Shamanic Poetry for A Broken Heart

By Alana Gamage

This is an evocative collection of poems stemming from an 8-year personal odyssey. Its author confronts a tumultuous past laden with childhood neglect, ancestral trauma, and internalized transphobia. Each heartbreak, each wound, sources deep poetic emotion. Born from moments of acute pain and despair, these poems emerged as a powerful act of shamanic writing helping the author heal from the inside out.

These 26 passages offer an intimate glimpse into a journey of self-acceptance. It traces her path of becoming an indigenous trans woman healer embracing her true self amidst societal norms, decolonizing her spirit, and reconnecting with her roots in a world overshadowed by colonialism. Each poem, artfully enhanced by AI-generated illustrations, encapsulates a story, a lesson, a whisper of shamanic wisdom. The prose passages interspersed throughout provide deep insights into shamanism, connecting readers with age-old wisdom tailored for contemporary souls.

This is more than just a book; it's a spiritual guide, resonating with those on their path to self-discovery, and a testament to the transformative power of words. It invites readers to delve deep, to reflect, and perhaps, to heal and stand strong on their own two feet as beings with self-love and limitless potential.
