When we encounter obstacles in our writing, it's easy to assume the problem is all in our heads. But yoga philosophy teaches us that nothing is all in our heads, in part because our minds are just one layer through which we experience our world. We must make space for the stories to reveal themselves before we write. But how do we do that? Rebecca Lyn Gold tackles that question by introducing the pancha kosha theory in yogic philosophy, which highlights the five layers of awareness through which we experience life. She explores how to balance the philosophy alongside practices that bring awareness to each layer in a way that reveals memories and stories. She also leads readers on a twenty-one day journey that includes yogic practices and writing prompts to find and write your life stories. You will be introduced to yoga poses to open areas of the body where trauma or memories may be stored, breath control practices to stimulate and balance the brain, and meditations with mudras and mantras to gain insight and inspiration. Discover how to write deep, authentic life stories with the insights, lessons, and exercises in From Your Mat to Your Memoir.
