Poet’s Press: The Checklist

By Chris Niles

  • Affirmations 
  • Speak tongues 
  • Find out what we have repressed 
  • Consciously do not suppress 
  • Prep for the worst (stay dangerous)
  • Write poems 
  • Sex therapy (tantric sex)
  • Carry a crystal 
  • Breath work (prana, chakra breathing) 
  • Let go of the feels (take responsibility) 
  • Surrendering it all without expression 
  • Have the feeling without condemning, drop judgement and realize it’s just a feeling. Let go of wanting to resist the feeling or modify it 
  • When letting go, focus on the feeling itself.. not the thoughts. Find the pressure behind the thoughts. Deny the thoughts. Accept the feeling
  • Continuing the letting go.. the surrendering 
  • Not attached to anything nor any outcome
