Adding editable content above posts

I want to have a content area above my posts where I can use the visual composer to edit the content. However, when I go to manage>pages and then to the page which has my blog posts, and try to add text, nothing shows up. I found an answer to this exact question and found this code

$page->post_content"; ?>

I put it in my index.php and the content I want to add above my posts show up.. but it also puts out a lot of visual composer code, like it doesnt connect with visual composer or the design.. It just puts the image on the far left

Any ideas?
