Ashia

A Soft Story of Pilgrimage and Peace

By: Jaiya John

Narrated by: Jaiya John

A young woman named Ashia goes on a walk through a meadow and along a brook, falling into a sweet, dreamlike memory of her earlier encounter with an elder woman. Together, the young woman and the elder woman journey through a magical wilderness as the elder woman shares with Ashia insights for healing and blooming earned through many centuries of living. Insights that thrived among humans before The Great Forgetting.

As Ashia encounters various non-human kin along their way, she experiences the loving messages these teachers hold for her. Ashia begins to release many skins of identity, shedding a lifetime of social conditioning. Ashia, the young woman, begins to remember herself.

This soft short story for adults and children by the poet Jaiya John is a mystical delight of self-discovery that carries you, the listener, back home to yourself.

Ashia is a medicine story. A sleep story. A meditative adventure through the veil of separation out into the divine fields where everything is intimately a part of everything. May the one song that is life sing to you through these precious healing words.
