The Journey to Source

May the poetry in this book serve as a reminder that we are visitors here.
One day each of us will let go of everything and everyone we love.
It is this powerful and humbling truth which makes us truly appreciate life.
Let us use this life as the grandest opportunity
to explore, strengthen, heal, grow, love, give, create,
and courageously forge ahead in service to others.
Heart first always in connection to Source.

Delve within and answer the necessary questions:

Who am I?
What is the meaning of life?
Why am I here?

Let the answers which arise manifest as your legacy to this world.

The Journey to Source is the first in a series of seven poetry books. Each book is composed of poems associated with topics of one specific chakra. In yoga practice, we usually begin with the root chakra (grounding) and elevate to the crown chakra (en-lighten-ment). However, I decided to begin with the crown chakra and work my way downwards. It is the last and highest of the seven primary chakras, the one most associated with the metaphysical, spiritual realm. This is done to honor all those who have physically left this world, yet are still present and connected to us.

The Chakra System

According to the Vedas (ancient Indian sacred texts), the physical body is composed of seven primary energy or vortex centers called chakras. Chakra is the Sanskrit word for wheel. The seven main chakras run along the spine-beginning with the root chakra and ending with the crown chakra. The main chakras are:

1 Root
2 Sacral
3 Solar plexus
4 Heart
5 Throat
6 Third eye
7 Crown

Each chakra has a different color, element, sound, mantra, function, location, major organ, and association. The flow or blockage/imbalance of subtle energy in each chakra determines the health or disease of the individual body.

Crown Chakra information:

Sanskrit name: Sahasrara
Color: Violet, gold, and white
Element: Thought and consciousness
Sound: Om
Mantra: “I Know”
Practice: Sitting meditation
Function: Understanding
Location: Top of the head
Organ: Cerebral cortex and the central nervous system
Associations: Faith, courage, spirituality, connection, and selflessness
Dysfunctions when imbalanced: Depression, apathy, confusion, insomnia, sensitivity to light and sound, memory loss, boredom, and mental disorders.

A Profound Exploration of Self, An Unforgettable Journey!

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2023

Verified Purchase

Journey to Source by Maria Kitsios LMT is nothing short of a life-altering odyssey. The words within these pages are not just ink on paper, but rather a beacon of light guiding readers towards a realm of self-discovery and enlightenment.

Kitsios' penmanship is exquisite, her prose rich and profound, resonating with readers on a deeply personal level. The journey she takes us on is both intimate and universal, a trajectory that starts within our hearts and extends to the infinite cosmos.

The book is a heartfelt plea to look within, to explore the vast landscapes of our souls, and to acknowledge and embrace our source. It's an empowering guide that teaches us to not just exist, but to truly live. The depth of Kitsios' understanding and wisdom left me in awe, her words a comforting balm to the chaos of life.

Moreover, the author's experience as an LMT shines through, as she encases spiritual wisdom in accessible, practical advice. Her approach to the journey of self-discovery is comprehensive, holistic, and utterly transformative.

By the end of the book, I felt as though I had been on a personal retreat. I felt lighter, more centered, and infinitely more connected to my source. Maria Kitsios LMT has truly crafted a masterpiece - one that speaks to the heart, nourishes the soul, and ignites the spirit.

This book is more than just a read, it's an experience. One that I recommend everyone embark on. Journey to Source is not just a book, it's a compass to inner peace and self-realization. It's an exploration of the self, a journey to the source, a voyage to the heart of existence.

Most remarkable read!

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024

Honestly people can spend hours days, years going to psychologists to heal and find closure, strength and solace and this book in one sitting can do it all. Maria’s words have this powerful transference of energy that is so raw, real, and healing. Any issue, trauma, loss, fear you have can be lifted and you will feel so light and free after reading it. She has that unparalleled touch with her words and her intent to truly heal people. When you read you will understand. Freedom of spirit and how sacred it is is emphasised here as a navigational tool to unleash all the burdensome emotions and truly have the sacred flow to fulfilment , happiness and freedom. Since freedom after all is what gives us strength to accomplish all we want. Maria’s writing is one of a kind.

Very accessible introduction to spiritual ideas

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2021

This book was a very enjoyable read which I was able to resonate with on many levels. Throughout its pages, there is an exploration of higher ways of looking at the average things and thoughts we do, which falls in line with the 7th chakra focus.
The poems in this book are an excellent introduction to said higher spiritual perceptions for anyone curious about expanding their own, and/or are curious about the nature of spirituality. Amongst the pages are very key statements which are very pertinent to the times we live in now. Some examples that stood out to me:

* What if all we ever knew was a lie within itself

* It is not enough to obtain knowledge
Through awareness, we must embody it as well.

* Question all that is believed to be true
Even our senses
and perception of daily reality

* Life is but a hell
if it be lived so

* our work as living entities is to revolt against the mundane

Such are critical ideas all people should wrestle with, to challenge personal preoccupations & beliefs. We do indeed need to move past the trap of "consensus reality", which is filled with nonsense, and into something evolved and closer to *what is* rather than *what has been decided for us*. A large part of the suffering we experience is due to this situation we're in. I find this book a wonderful little soldier in this war we are all currently living through.

Looking forward to the rest of the series!

In these trying times we need to look within for strength!

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2021

We're all going through hardships and an attack on the human spirit! Tough times don't last, but tough people do. We need to look inwards to find the strength and perseverance to keep on going forward. Yoga has taught me to be more in tune with my body and I actually feel better than I ever have.

This book explains the chakras which embody us all -- And that through the mind we can find balance to our bodies.

A little snippet from the book:
"The role of the seeker of truth,
that of the philosophical
and working mind
is to question everything.
Question all that is believed to be true."

More than ever this statement strikes a chord, be kind to one another - and your fellow Man comes before politics and agendas. A little kindness goes a long way. Stay safe everyone!
