What other readers have to say
A spiritual collection of poems to enhance inner peace and self reflection
Every poem awakened a deep connection of self awareness . The words were profoundly inspiring, encouraging and created a positive sense of mindfulness. The themes of the poems covered every aspect of life and enriched the whole experience. There are sections in the book for introspection and self reflection which were very interesting.
I would highly recommend this book and the author to anyone who is embarking on a journey of meditation and self discovery!!
~ Alka
This is a really beautiful and heartfelt collection of poems that encompasses the whole journey of life
from birth to death and everything in between. What’s great about this collection is the author’s notes afterwards on her own message about the poem and her prompts for the reader to reflect themselves on what the poem means to them and the space to journal about them. A great purchase for anyone who loves poetry, meditation and journaling and would also make a lovely and meaningful gift.
~ Beau

Meet The Author
Nikita Thakrar
At the time, I did not have language for the patterns I was living through or the identity I was beginning to outgrow. Poetry became the place where those experiences could be felt before they could be fully understood.
That creative process later became part of the foundation for Journey from Karma to Dharma™, my wider body of work exploring identity, patterns, transition and purpose.
Each poem invites you into your own reflection. My intention is not to tell you what the words should mean, but to create enough space for you to notice what they awaken within you. To be notified of my upcoming books please join my mailing list below.
