Butterfly Flutters: Poems for Spiritual Inspiration

Butterfly Flutters find their inspiration in the teachings of yoga. The aim is to unite us with the transcendental Oneness that underlies reality and that exists beyond mind and matter. Ironically, this lofty goal can be approached with light-heartedness, and whimsy-qualities that are good for the soul and that harness the forces of same creation that are simultaneously present in every fleeting moment as well as in the everlasting world of spirit.Monica Timbal taught herself yoga as a teen, growing up in Newfoundland, Canada. Initially, she practiced the postures for health and flexibility. However she soon realized that the strange exercises were opening her to something beyond the physical. She had rediscovered the true ‘yoga’ which means nothing less than a union with the divine. Thus began a lifelong journey, inspired by yoga, eastern spirituality, and meditation. By silencing her mind and activating her heart, the author gleans knowledge from what she describes as ‘an inexhaustible ocean of inspiration.’ This is the source of her whimsical Butterfly Flutters.
