RIVER OF ASHES

Some journeys home do not lead around grief. They lead through it.

I wrote “River of Ashes” from the place where healing no longer means turning away from what has been lived. The river does not erase the past. It carries what can no longer remain fixed, allowing fear, silence, and accumulated grief to loosen their hold.

As the song unfolds, being lost gives way to being seen—and something living begins to emerge beneath the ashes.

“River of ashes, carry me home
I was lost in the night
Now I’m open and known.”

A new space has opened.

I have gathered my books, songs, and the Emotional Memory Process™ into one place—not as separate bodies of work, but as different ways of entering the same inner territory.

The books give language to emotional memory, protective fragments, inherited patterns, anxiety, and the body’s unfinished responses. Jura Swan Lyrics carries these same landscapes into music, where water, stone, silence, grief, and return are allowed to speak differently.

The website also introduces the eleven movements of the Emotional Memory Process™ and the path through which what was once left alone may begin to meet the resources, choices, and Adult Self available now.

If something you encounter there touches an experience you are trying to understand, you are welcome to write to me or enquire about a brief individual consultation.

There is no single path back to oneself.
Sometimes it begins with a page.
Sometimes with a song.
Sometimes with the quiet recognition that nothing within us came into being without a reason.

Kartais pyktis – tai ne giliausias jausmas.
Tai jausmas, kuris stovi sargyboje prieš kitą, daug trapesnį.
Yra emocijos, kurios mums atrodo pavojingesnės už pyktį.

Liūdesys, kuris gali mus paskandinti.
Baimė, kuri atskleidžia, kokie esame maži.
Gėda, kuri šnabžda, kad su mumis kažkas negerai.
Bejėgiškumas – labiausiai nepakeliama žmogaus būsena.

Ir prieš juos visus pyktis pasiūlo kažką patrauklesnio:
Judesį. Kryptį. Jėgą.

Liūdesys traukia žemyn – pyktis stumia pirmyn. Baimė traukiasi – pyktis žengia. Bejėgiškumas sustingdo – pyktis veikia.
Štai kodėl taip dažnai renkamės jį, net to nesuvokdami. Ne todėl, kad esame agresyvūs. Todėl, kad jis jaučiasi saugesnis nei tai, ką stengiamės tuo metu pridengti.

O po pykčiu dažnai slypi kažkas dar jautresnio.
Apie tai – naujame tekste apie PYKTĮ ir jo šaknis.

PYKTIS kaip pasiuntinys. Kas manyje šaukia, kai degu? Ką saugo tavo pyktis? Po juo dažnai slypi sena riba, nutildytas jausmas, paveldėta giminės ugnis. Kvietimas pažvelgti į pyktį kitaip – ne kaip į tai, ką reikia suvaldyti, o kaip į seną meilės sau formą, kuri pagaliau gali ilsėtis.

Dvi knygos. Du balsai. Vienas kalba apie tai, kaip jautiesi. Kitas — apie tai, kaip pagaliau leidi sau jausti.
Jos nėra apie greitus sprendimus ar motyvaciją. Jos — tylus prisilietimas prie to, kas tavyje seniai laukia.
Anapus nerimo kalėjimo ir Emocinės atminties atlasas — abi gimė iš Emocinės atminties proceso, iš dešimtmečių darbo ir gyvos patirties.

Kviečiu užsukti, jei norisi grįžti ten, kur visada buvai laukiamas. 🤍
