Are you ready to be fully alive? To thrive? Do you know who your one-of-a-kind True Authentic Self—the person you were truly born to be—is?

Nancy Reynolds’ From Breakdown to Breakthrough: A Yogic Pathway to Self-Empowerment helps you identify, modify, and eliminate mental, emotional, and behavioral patterns that prevent you from reaching your fullest potential. Rooted in the author’s expertise over her 35-year career teaching yoga and leading healing and personal growth retreats, Reynolds uses yoga’s Eight-Limbed Path, Chakra System, and principles of spiritual psychology as self-inquiry techniques to help you recognize the powerful influences that have unconsciously forged you. Guided creative writing, movement, breathwork, visualization, and meditation experiences help you drill down into the bedrock of stories and memories entombed in your bodymind and awaken insights about why you act, feel, and think the way you do. The author provides clear behavioral modification strategies that will enable you to spin newfound inner wisdom into realizing a more intentional and fulfilling future. Raising your True Authentic Self is the hub of all inner journey work in this book, in which Reynolds shares memoir-style narratives to help readers explore personal issues relating to self-identity, sexuality, creativity, resiliency, willpower, connection, communication, beliefs, and spirituality. By the end, you’ll have a framework for creating your own memoir along with a collection of artwork and rituals that document your process of enlightened self-discovery. You’ll not only feel liberated from your past, you’ll be ready to move on, living true to YOU!
