Remember the good ol’ days in elementary school when your teacher introduced you to haiku, a Japanese form of poetry based on syllables, not rhyming?
Psychotherapist and author Anne Helfer describes haiku as the rap of expressive writing that unlocks the door to emotions hidden deep inside and leads to even deeper healing.
Anne explains how the 5-7-5 formula behind haiku is a simple healing exercise in mindfulness and why more people should follow her Silver Rule this week on Spirit Gym.
