We are honored to have Mellara Gold here to share her story. Raised on Australia’s Gold Coast, Mellara Gold moved to Hollywood to become an actress. After a few film and TV roles, two failed marriages, a thankfully failed suicide attempt, and an incapacitating back injury, she healed herself through yoga, meditation, and living in awareness. Now a highly respected yoga teacher and a regular contributor to Elephant Journal and other publications, Mellara shares teachings, insights, and heartfelt stories of her journey to wholeness and a life worth living.
Living in awareness: Deepening Our Daily Lives Through Prayer, Ritual, and Meditation
is a follow up to Mellara’s first book a life worth living : A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Mindfulness, Yoga, and Living in Awareness https://www.amazon.com/dp/1950186350/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_29W6XVABPF3DYNDXEQ89
It’s different in a way that it is not a memoir like her first book. And it is a much lighter read to her life struggles of her younger life. In her second book we also see her mature as a writer, mother, and teacher. She offers herself as both a spiritual companion and mentor as she shares her deep understanding of the human experience in Living in Awareness. This book is full of insights into how to better connect with the underlying spiritual rhythms required for a life of freedom and peace. Mellara’s warmth, compassion, and humility shine throughout her writing as she courageously shares her own personal struggles for the benefit of others. She provides examples of how a holistic way of living, including practices like prayer, ritual, and meditation, has helped her heal and transform, and how you can too.
In our world today, which relies too heavily on the intellect, Mellara presents a beautiful invitation to learn to live with a more open heart, full of love and grace. Living in Awareness teaches how to live a more embodied life, and how to learn to listen to the messages from the body, emotions, and heart, while also integrating the powers of the mind. This book is a practical guide for recognizing and connecting with the tools we all have within in order to live a deeply satisfying and peaceful life.
