Book Description

Savva Emanon’s new collection, as the title announces, Luminescence in Verse - Poetry about the human condition, takes its inspiration from the author’s personal experience as a psychotherapist, counsellor, and dance/movement therapist. With a deep appreciation for having translated his extensive wealth of therapeutic knowledge into the practice of mental health and spiritual exercises and now into verse, these poems convey a profound sense of moving toward a state of bliss, as they make a sincere effort to overcome every human challenge with unwavering positivity and spirit. The perfect metrical arrangement is also a search for care to make every poetic reflection harmoniously musical. This body of work is not a magic cure, but if you use these incredible verses as a daily “mantra” you will significantly achieve an inner balance that will make you face the path of life with harmony and lightness. It is not provocative to say that perhaps today’s world needs more sweet and profound words than a bulimic world of artificial and retouched images: the profound sense of beauty is above all internal and poetry can be an excellent vehicle for this intent. Savva Emanon is a fully qualified psychotherapist, counsellor, and dance & movement therapist, founder of Calm Mind Counselling Services. Since graduating with honours in psychotherapy and counselling, he has worked with thousands of patients from age 6 to 95 and has truly changed the way people see the therapeutic process regarding mental health: moving people toward greater awareness, potential, and purpose by tapping into their innate body/mind/spirit connection.
