The Inner Poet Project

The Inner Poet Project is the headquarters and launchpad for a series of creative works currently under development. The project is underpinned by my personal mission of providing practical tools to help others awaken to their inner voice, speak their truth, and reach their highest potential.

1. The Inner Poet Oracle

The Inner Poet Oracle is a 36-card oracle deck that serves as a creative and practical divination tool to empower your inner guidance. It has a three-part format including poetry, guided reflections, and actionable steps to help you connect with your higher self and face challenges with a divinely empowered mindset. The oracle uses the metaphor of an Inner Poet for our divine self and inner guidance system. At its core, The Inner Poet Oracle is for problem-solving and decision-making. But however you choose to use the oracle, it will enhance your spiritual awareness and help strengthen your inner voice.

Use the cards to solve a problem or make an important decision by identifying the issue you need guidance on, asking your query, and using The Inner Poet Oracle’s three-part divination process to assist.

Part I: The illustrated card opens your awareness, and paired with a relatable poem in the guidebook, helps you explore the main problem you are facing.

Part II: The reflection section connects the poem’s wisdom to your situation, offers an affirmation of your strengths, and potential solutions to the problem at hand.

Part III: The action steps provide practical self-help strategies to apply new insights to your life.

The accompanying guidebook offers a self-guided meditation so you can connect with your higher self and activate the divine wisdom of your own Inner Poet. The action steps focus on self-care strategies for emotional resilience and empowerment. Those include mindfulness, meditation, creative visualisation, and activities to encourage and empower creative expression.

Card 1. Waiting for Transformation (Words by Suzi Taylor © 2024)

  • The thoughts come uninvited, no one is to blame

    It doesn’t matter where you are, vain imaginings stake their claim

    Thoughts hang around like whispers, they steal your soul away

    Then disappear back to your ego, a self-made throne maintained

    But your power is your peacefulness, your strength, your emotional depth

    The mind will keep you captive, until you find your breath

  • This poem reflects contemplative energy and positive regenerative power. Our life story can be sad and torturous, or deep and transformative – we have the power to choose our thoughts and how we respond to circumstances.

    The magic is in the last line: ‘until you find your breath’. If you can ground yourself and find your strength in a challenging situation you can transform, transmute, transcend it. Maybe it’s an issue at work, a relationship breakdown, or loss of something you love – situations can come out of nowhere and steal our strength, our breath. But we can choose to find it again.

  • If you feel spaced out or disconnected, or you are overthinking an issue, try these techniques to bring you back to earth, anchor your energy, and find your breath. Take your shoes off and feel the earth under your feet, or your whole body if you’re open and able. If you can’t get outside don’t worry, you can still apply this technique.

    Stand tall and straight (wherever you are) with your feet planted firmly on the ground or sit crossed legged with your sitting bones comfortably touching the floor. Imagine drawing pure white light from the universe into your body, activating your spiritual core. Start at your heart centre and move the energy up to your crown, and then down through your spine and tailbone grounding into Mother Earth. Take a few deep breaths and release all that no longer serves you. Imagine Mother Earth’s life-giving nutrients and minerals and draw her grounding energy up through your chakras, rejuvenating each energy centre. Give thanks for the process and remain connected to Mother Earth’s energy as you go about your day.

2. Tales from the Inner Poet: Divine perspectives on the material world

Tales from the Inner Poet is a concise teaching memoir in a pocketbook with a set of principles to help you build confidence and empower your inner voice. It’s written from the perspective of my higher self while my soul and I navigated life through several stages of spiritual awakening from youth to adulthood. The pocketbook includes tips and tricks on how to uncover your own inner voice and prevent it from being buried under other people’s opinions that you’ve accepted as your own. This is my higher self’s memoir, and she brings with her universal truths to help others find their own.
