Poetry In Motion with Sonee Singh and Toni Lontis

Sonee Singh is a cross-cultural seeker of deep knowing. She writes stories of self-discovery to encourage people to accept themselves for who they are and live life on their own terms. Her tales are of her character’s definitive moments on their life’s journey. The mystical and spiritual are integral in her storytelling, as is her multi-cultural background.

Sonee is of Indian descent, born in Mexico, raised in Colombia, and resides in the United States. When not traveling, reading, or writing, she indulges in meditation, yoga, and aromatherapy.

Sonee has published three books in her Soul-Seeker collection of poetry: Embody, Embrace and Embolden. Her first novel, Lonely Dove, will be released on September 27. She has been published in three anthologies: Blessing the Page, The Colours of Me, and The Wishing Stone.

Her first novel, Lonely Dove, will be released on September 27, 2022.

WELCOME back to the show Sonee!

Questions for the Guest: these are a guide only, and we will just have a conversation and go where it goes.

1. Congratulations on your BEST SELLER Amazon status for Lonely Dove Sonee!! How does it feel to have reached best seller Sonee? Just a reminder for the audience, that you can still purchase Lonely Dove at a special price for a bit longer and I encourage you do to that.

2. This week we are discussing the 2nd in your poetry series Embrace on the eve of its paperback release. Embrace has been described as a journey through the cycles of life. Lets talk about some of the ebbs and flows that were happening for you at the time that Embrace was channeled?

3. You describe the poetry as “flowing from your soul” and with the first poetry book Embody, it coincided with some bodily aches and pains. Embrace was a more emotional journey, wasn’t it, can you tell us about that?

4. You describe this poetry book as the coming together of the zodiac signs and the Buddhist life stages – how so? Can we ask what sign you are?

The Buddhist faith is based of 12 stages or links:

1. Ignorance

2. Actions

3. Consciousness

4. Name and Form

5. the Six Entrances (the five sense organs and the mind)

6. Contact

7. Sensation

8. Desire

9. Clinging

10. Existence

11. Birth

12. Old Age and Death

In short, the “Law of the Twelve Causes” teaches that you are born as an ordinary human being because of your ignorance in a previous life. The Law also teaches that if you eradicate your ignorance in the present world, the essential form of your life as it was meant to be will be revealed in your future life. Here we should not limit the meaning of “future life” to life when we are reborn after death but should regard it rather as the life before us in the future. If we abandon (fundamental) ignorance and set our minds in the direction of the Law, a bright and serene future life will open up before us.

12 Zodiac signs are:

• Aries (March 21 – April 19)

• Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

• Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

• Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

• Leo (July 23 – August 22)

• Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

• Libra (September 23 – October 22)

• Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

• Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

• Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

• Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

• Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

5. Embrace was predominately written whilst in the midst of Covid and this was a profound time to channel the poetry in this book. Can you walk us through some of those challenges Sonee?

6. Did you use beta readers for Embrace and how did that go for you?

7. I would love you to read a couple of the poems from Embrace let’s then lets chat about why you chose those poems and what it means to you when you read them out loud?

8. Sonee, I want to remind the audience about a special phrase that resonates with you, Trust your Souls Destination – how is this true for you, particularly at the moment with the release of Lonely Dove the release of the paperback of the poetry series, the next novel and the next poetry series?

9. Where can people connect with you, how do they buy the books?
