In this episode, my guest, international poet, author, speaker and workshop leader, Anthony Flynn DeSilver, shares how to use mindfulness to avoid procrastination to enhance any authors writing ability.

Writing can be used as a powerful tool for self-healing.  We all have a unique journey as we grow and evolve.  The beauty of the practice of writing is that it is available to help us anytime and anywhere. Albert Flynn DeSilver is a gifted writer and author coach.  He provides online programmes for exactly this type of experience and opens the door to honest dialogue for healing in his work. His profound book, “Writing as a Path to Awakening” opens the reader up to self-examination and the use of the written word as a courageous personal growth strategy. n Albert's memoir “Beamish Boy,” he shares his own personal journey of going from suicidal alcoholic to widely published author and spiritual teacher, showing how writing can be central to a healing path.  The book is filled with moments of life challenges that awaken us to remember how our life stories are also our pathway to healing and self-understanding.  He inspires the reader to become more compassionate with themselves, as they reflect on their own troubling experiences, and reminds us how to integrate the suffering through writing and embodied presence. This is the practice of truth-telling through writing; in which writing (telling) the story helps to let go of the story—until one day we find ourselves reconnected to life, waking up to the freedom and love that is our very nature. Albert has worked with numerous international bestselling authors like Cheryl Strayed, Dani Shapiro, and Elizabeth Gilbert, among others. These authors have been an inspiration for millions and an opportunity for individuals to better understand how unpackaging your life story can lead to personal growth. Albert offers a creative writing program online that features a mindful approach to increase inspiration, transformation and celebration from the inside out.  For information:  https://www.albertflynndesilver.com/program Links & Resources: More about Albert Flynn DeSilver: https://albertflynndesilver.com/ The Mindful Authors Accelerator Program: https://albertflynndesilver.com/program DeSilver on Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/AlbertFlynnDeSilver Writing as a Path to Awakening – Intro:  https://youtu.be/LFpwW4NN_uA FREE 30 minute coaching listeners - first 30 people:  https://calendly.com/asisowl/30min?month=2022-04 Materials to Reference: Using Expressive Writing to Heal Trauma - Dr James Pennebaker, PhD:  https://youtu.be/CjEr0xiXqio Shadow Work and Healing Journal Prompts:  https://youtu.be/Khau5RpZUrQ The Healing Power of Writing | Kerstin Pilz | TEDxTownsville: https://youtu.be/btxVXcRDhqY What the best Memoirs have in Common:  https://youtu.be/nzMrNDxuct0

The best writers say their work seems to come from a source beyond the thinking mind. But how do we access that source? In this episode, Albert Flynn DeSilver explains how writing can be used as a path to awakening. For Albert, writing has always been a journey of awakening. He is somebody that went from being a suicidal alcoholic to be a published author and teacher. May you be inspired and opened up in a whole new way!

In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Albert Flynn DeSilver an amazing poet, memoirist, novelist, teacher, and speaker. He is an extraordinary soul who has been able to translate his own pain, grief, sorrow, confusion and hard times during his childhood to beautiful words and poetry.  He is one of the most gentle souls I have come across during my podcasting journey. He is sensitive and wonderful to speak to. The way that he expresses his own story I felt this healing coming over me and I’m certain you will feel it too. There is a softness about him even when he is describing moments of violence and pain. He has found a way to his own healing even though it’s still happening, his progress and his path has been a transformational journey that I believe will change your life. We talk about his path to healing and forgiveness from childhood abuse and recovering from alcoholism. His sense of story is so visual and physical, in everything he said I was able to see very clearly his story through his own eyes as if I was there. I hope you do too. “Every experience is given to us and there is a Divine purpose behind it.”  ~Albert Flynn DeSilver   I hope that if you are someone who wishes to be a writer, poet or novelist and you don’t think you have what it takes, please remember this conversation. Both Albert and I started writing out of the blue, what is your inspiration? Watch out for it, it’s knocking on your door any time now. I can’t wait to hear about your thoughts on your own writing journey and future poetry. Be sure to comment below or connect with me on Instagram and let me know what you think of this conversation.

We are always creating. Being still and silent is difficult but through that we can find our creativity. Everyone has it. It is not separate from our daily experience. Our true nature is that we are creative geniuses. Our creative essence is embodied in our body and mind. “Just do it”. Poetry is pervasive.

In which our heroes spend way too much time plotting against a racist elf. We attempted to steal personal effects, try to destroy the evidence and fail dismally at hiding anything. Krif does something dumb but it works, Princess Ansley checks on her progress with Greyson and Leo has a hard time trying to bribe a guard. So stay completely still and join our party as they try to coax Jiggalump down from the ledge. Want to be assembled on the deck?

In which our heroes set sail for the other side of the world. We wake up (which is a relief), meet a “fancy” Dwarven Ship Captain and everyone just tries to pick up. Krif scans the ship for “strange”, Princess Ansley meddles in the lives of others and Leo realises that it is a bad idea to try to soak up some sun. So get shirtless for all of five seconds and join our party as they become dazzled by Captain DeSilver and his Technicolour Waist. Want to animate a mule skeleton?
