There’s something about a haiku that calms the entire system. It’s like a deep breath presented in poetic form. Just a few simple lines of poetry, and suddenly you’re back in your body, recalling things you already knew but somehow forgot along the way.
I created these healing haikus over the years as gentle reminders for my clients and for myself. They serve as tiny invitations to return to the present, ease self-judgment, and reconnect with the quiet wisdom within you. Think of them as little tuning forks for the soul.
Take your time with them. Let one resonate with you, or read through the entire collection. There’s no wrong way.
The Haiku Collection
Awakening
Wake within the dream
Discover hidden knowledge
That will change your life
Your soul is dreaming
You are that dream. Learn now to
Wake within the dream
Self-Love and Inner Freedom
The freedom to be
Is a most wonderful gift
To give to yourself
You deserve your love
And to be loved – remember
You’re one of a kind
Your health will improve
When you start loving yourself
Instead of judging
Love as a Path
Set your paradigm
Inwardly and outwardly
To be filled with Love
The love in your heart
Is to be shared with the Earth
And all Her children
Nature and Stillness
Sit still in nature
Release all pent up tensions
Let inner peace bloom
Mystical moonlight
Imbued with Goddess magic
Bathing us in love
Self-Reflection and Growth
Focus on yourself
Be more loving, forgiving
Then do for others
Unique expression
Of all the love you are is
Your gift to the world
The embodiment
Of all that is lay within
Your heart’s potential
Presence
Stay in the moment,
Try to capture it you risk
Missing its essence
Stop over-thinking
Or doing what’s expected
Simply … be … yourself
Courage and the Heart
Following your heart
Takes great determination
And self-acceptance
Your true potential
Is only limited by
Your degree of doubt
Healing and Inner Wisdom
Stress fractures the mind
Avoidance is ego’s trap
Love’s the soul’s cure
There’s a belief that
Suppressing a symptom’s
A cure: it is wrong
Compassion and Forgiveness
Hatred leads nowhere
For spiritual progress
Practice forgiveness
Love makes us unique,
One of a kind, while ego
Fears diversity
Shadow Work and Truth
All types of bullies,
Including spiritual,
Hide deep self-loathing
A Closing Reflection
What I appreciate about haikus is how they guide you back to what’s simple and real. They don’t force; they gently suggest. Healing often works similarly. When you take the time to listen, your body relaxes, your mind stops holding on so tightly, and you begin to recall who you truly are beneath all the “shoulds.”
If any of these little poems touched your heart or helped you breathe a little deeper, then they’ve fulfilled their purpose. Let them be reminders that you can revisit when you need stability, clarity, or a gentle push back toward your own inner wisdom.
