Butterfly Voyage: Poetry

On 30 May, 2016, at 1.52 am, I woke from a dream and scribbled…
I am the mother
who always loved you
Seventy three lines later I had penned (or rather channelled) a cryptic poem that seemed to contain an urgent message. At that stage I had no idea what it meant, but my intuition told me that all would be revealed if I paid attention to the signs.
In the days that followed, lines from the poem started to materialise and more cryptic poems were channelled.
Two weeks later, after a series of serendipitous events, I travelled out of state to attend a shamanic retreat where I took Ayahuasca for the first time. Ayahuasca is an entheogenic brew and spiritual medicine used by Shamans from the Amazon basin. It is said to clear spiritual baggage from current and previous lives.
The experience was both confronting and liberating, and ultimately sent me on a two year journey of deep self-reflection and healing.
Butterfly Voyage is a poetic account of that two year journey.
Reviews
“Beautiful, a work of art! This book stoked the flames in my heart and spoke to my restlessness. While it was introduced to me as poetry, I place it in line with the Seth books, Ram Dass, or Emmanuel Book 1.” ~ Amazon USA
“It is a beautiful book that speaks of life lessons, easy, hard, far reaching, evolving, and permanent. It’s a book about life and living it, no matter the gender, age, or baggage you may have, for you are human, you are beautiful, and you can fly.” ~ J.D. Estrada, Author
“The right poetry makes me feel alive. The images sear. Gems of wisdom cut right through to the human condition. This collection by Bianca Bowers is sublime.”
~ Amazon UK“A thoroughly enjoyable read and worthy of a place on the book shelf in the fine poets section”. ~ Amazon UK
“A long and arduous search for self-love.” ~ Book Blogger
“This is a book of poetry carved out of malleable ingredients that are an imaginative wheelhouse for readers to take shelter in as he or she moves along inside the oceanic currents of the author’s journey to self.” ~ Book Blogger
