Meet Sam Yau: Poet

Sam Yau is a retired business executive, splitting his time between managing his investments and writing poetry. He writes about soul's journey, life's vicissitudes, trauma and healing, consciousness, science and spirituality, and mysticism. Read on to learn more about his journey...

~Share something you are passionate about:

I write poems that heal individual and collective wounds through the alignment of our purpose with our soul’s blueprint, and through a higher level of consciousness of our unity with fellow humans and the planet.

The global pandemic has resulted in

deaths, loss of jobs and income, a mental illness crisis magnified by isolation, on a massive scale. The U.S.A. has regressed on environmental sustainability. Economic inequality, racial injustice, political divisiveness has torn the social fabric to the breaking point.

My poems summons lightworkers to rev up earth’s vibrations and wake humanity to its destiny of heaven on earth.

~What are some ways you are helping to bring this forward in the world?

My poems help readers to discover their soul’s purpose, to heal life’s traumas, and to regain their wholeness. The readers would find inspirations and pathways in the spiritual experiences and insights elucidated by the poems. The spiritual values of “we are one” and “unity in diversity” collectively heal our planet and create a more compassionate and equitable world.

~Describe something our readers today can look forward to discovering in your book, Soul’s Journey:

Kernels of wisdom and gems of beauty in living as a soul – love, friendship, purpose, presence, gratitude, meditation and prayer, appreciation of nature, cultivation of inner world, union with the divine, and much more.

My poems are meditations on the essence of spiritual truths in the distilled language of poetry lush with imagery and metaphors that awake and evoke the divinity within us. They are direct inspirations from the spiritual realm to lift humanity to a higher plane of truth, goodness and beauty.

~What are 1-3 tips you can give our reader today to help them step forward in their life powerfully? 

I have only one tip: Live as a soul, which is already connected to the source, the divine.

Why? Because there is:

no greater courage than arriving at the fearlessness of death,

no greater creativity than accessing the infinite potentiality of the divine,

no greater love than feeling the union with the divine, the nature of which is love itself,

no greater power than allowing the divine to be the co-creator of your life,

no greater purpose than aligning with your soul’s mission on earth,

no greater joy than stepping into the uniqueness of your divinity.

~Will you share a reader story?

I have readers, not clients. For a while, I was the only reader of my poems. I started writing poems to heal myself. In sharing my poems with my friends, they kept telling me that my poems were healing and inspiring for them. My soul whispers unceasingly urging me to continue to write. With a serious of synchronicities and chance encounters with strangers who became the angels in my poetry journey and my best friends, the calling became unmistakable. I surrendered. My poems healed me. I hope they will heal others.

~What tip or piece of advice can you share with our reader today to empower them to SHINE?

We are more than a physical body. We have many layers of energy fields from which invisible lights are emitted. That is how we shine. It is who we are, not what we do. Not our appearance, nor our possessions.

The beauty and intensity of our light is the quality of our inner life reflected in our energy fields. If we live in our soul, we will have a constant source of love, peace, and strength. Our life becomes a beacon that shines upon the world.

No one empowers us. We empower ourselves by surrendering to our soul.

~Any final thought, share, or idea that you would like to share with our readers today?

Contemplate every day: How do I live as a soul in human clothes rather than a human with a soul? Ask your soul to take over your life and listen to the inner voices from your soul and watch for synchronicities. Witness how this up-side-down shift in self-perception will transform your life.
