Today we introduce you to healer and spiritual midwife Solodad Maria, from the United Kingdom, whose work focuses on awakening the Divine Feminine within every woman.
When and how did you first begin writing poetry?
I
have been writing poetry since I was a child. Since then I have felt that the
rhythm of the Universe speaks through me, harmonizing with my natural self, the
beauty of word, sound and the Divine source. In 1995 I experienced a kind of
awakening. It was then that I was blessed with beautiful writing, and words
that flow from within me. They are like prayers flowing from the transparent
source of light, which, as a women I feel I know deeply and intuitively.
Which subjects are easiest for you to write poems on?
I write from within: like an artist with a
blank canvas, the words flow onto the page, like a blessing from the essence of
transformation and love. My words are always heartfelt, always from my soul. I
also feel blessings and energy that is gifted to me when I write.
When do you feel most inspired to write poetry?
In the early morning around 3 or 4 am. That’s
when I awaken and feel the oneness and blessings of the presence of the Divine.
I am energized then and full of praise and gratitude for a new day. Words flow
from me at this time of day and also my meditations. It is a very beautiful
experience.
What is your biggest fear or hesitation when deciding to share a poem
with the public?
I feel the sacred deeply. I believe that any
hesitation is my need and desire to keep my Divine flow as a peaceful vehicle
for love, avoiding obscurity and unnatural rhythms or complexity.
What is the most profound thing you have learned from writing poems?
I’ve learned about the Awakening Woman within
all women, and how connected she is as a source of communication and clarity
for us all. I’ve learned about her joy in this place of freedom and unity with
all that is. I’ve also learned how blessed I am to be a source of inspiration for
myself, and others. For in expressing words that move beyond meaning, but are
felt deeply within, we open ourselves up to receive them in a state of grace.
This feeling is so beautiful!
What function has writing poems played for you in your life?
Poetry has been like a light to me, and a
freedom. Poetry affects me deeply as a source of love: Divinity in motion!
What effect does reading the poems of others have on you?
I feel the words of others deeply. Poetry for
me is fluid, like liquid: the essence of the soul. I believe that often words
that pour out spontaneously are poems not yet known to the souls expression. I
am moved by prayer, energy and sensitivity. I am moved by words that are heartfelt
yet loving and real. I admire the soul who takes the time to praise life and
others, who knows how to use words as an energy source, as a beloved even. Sometimes
the longing behind the words catches me and lulls my being into a place of
openness and pure love.
How did you first discover Journey of The Heart?
Journey of the Heart was found
through the deep connection I feel with Catherine Ghosh as a pure hearted soul
and Divine sister.
Have you publically shared your poetry before doing so via this
project?
I published Healing
From The Heart in 2005. It is filled with blessings and verses that tell
the story of my spiritual awakening. I have also had poetry published through
other publications and the Internet.
What has been your general experience of sharing your poetry on Journey
of The Heart?
I was happy to have my poetry published through
Journey of the Heart. The deep
resonance with Catherine and the beautiful sisters, as they share their own
messages and expressions of the awakened woman is wonderful.
Any last words you’d like to share about poetry?
I believe poetry is an art form: a language of
soul that resonates across the Universe and those who compose it are deeply
blessed with being able to communicate that vibration in the Universe that
longs to be heard. In doing so, we lift the vibration of our Mother Earth and
bless life with valuable messages about openness, freeing and healing: exercising
the language of the soul!
