"In this uncertain, topsy-turvy world, we are all on the same elusive journey to find peace in every precious moment. In A Yogi's Path to Peace, Donna Melanson courageously lays bare her soul with powerful, authentic, and raw honesty and emotion so that you can discover new joy, peace, and fulfillment. No one can be loved until they let themselves be seen. No one can be seen until they learn to love themselves. You will LOVE traveling with Donna as she guides you to self-love along YOUR path to peace.” Brian Biro, America's Breakthrough Coach “Donna's perseverance and ongoing inspiration in her book - A Yogi's Path to Peace, may just be the book to inspire you on your journey. Each one of us needs a strong foundation and meditation is a simple nonobtrusive tool to equip us with all that we need to lead a balanced happy and healthy life." Bawa Jain, Secretary General, World Council of Religious Leaders “Donna Melanson’s story as chronicled in A Yogis Path to Peace, helps one see that our life truly is a journey of self-discovery. Both full of pain and challenge, and success and joy. Finding the strength to peel back the mistruths we acquire and accept, to find the place of being and sharing at our core, is the mission we all have. Donna's unflinching honesty in sharing her path can inspire us all. Thank you, Donna!” Swami Babarama of Kashi Ashram, Florida. “Donna has crafted a beautifully honest and extremely helpful book with engaging stories about her own journey that will lift you up while pointing the way to your own liberation. Broken down into three sections, this is an easy and uplifting read that is timely for anyone looking to manifest more inner peace.” Paul Samuel Dolman, Podcaster - What Matters Most, and Author of Hitchhiking with Larry David This book is a memoir about a yogi's path to peace, the way to live in the middle of the human conditioning. The story starts at the end of the writer's Donna Melanson's old life and continues as Donna gains awareness when she realizes as she's losing all her possessions that she has also lost who she was. In what seems like a lifetime of being busy and unaware, the writer shares her journey as she looks back at what she's been through and where she wants to go. She explores coming to terms with who she is and who she wants to be. From the depth of her soul, Donna feels a calling to inspire people, which makes her feel a little insane since she's come to this realization at the lowest point in her life. The writer knows that she can no longer live the way she has been living and sets out to start living life as the person Donna feels she's meant to be. We follow her journey as she moves back and forth by journaling, sharing her reality as a person losing everything still stuck in the bitterness of it all, and the person she feels she's deep inside by creating Goldilocks Blog, sharing all the positive things and ideas she needs to remind herself in order for her to live her "just right" life. Hoping that she helps others along the way, feeling she can't be the only one suffering. At the same time, Donna's being called to practice yoga by hearing a chant while walking alone on a path in the mountains. It's here where she begins to feel a sense of peace. A friend gives her a VHS video of a thirty-minute gentle yoga sequence, and a yoga mat. She begins practicing at home for her mental health and wellbeing. Demonstrating what it looks like to change the way we're living by coming into awareness with clarity, insight, and understanding as she steps deeper into the path of the life as a yogi, by becoming a yoga teacher and understanding her purpose. When you come into living your truth with the awareness, you see your life and the life around you from a different perspective. The author no longer needing anything outside herself, demonstrating how you can too live a life of peace.

"En los últimos veinte años, la meditación y la atención plena se han convertido en una especie de solución para todo, tanto para bajar de peso como para mejorar las relaciones personales o para lograr mayor eficiencia. Pero, ¿qué hay de realidad en esto? ¿De qué manera se distorsionan datos para vender métodos de entrenamiento mental? ¿Qué pueden ofrecernos verdaderamente las técnicas de meditación? ¿Cómo obtener el mayor beneficio para nuestra mente, nuestro cerebro y nuestro cuerpo?. En este libro se describen las investigaciones más avanzadas sobre el tema, que aplicadas a desarrollar una variedad más amplia de prácticas permitirán lograr los mejores resultados. No obstante, para alcanzar ese altísimo nivel de transformación positiva no bastan pequeñas dosis diarias de meditación. Es necesaria una dedicación prolongada, que incluye ingredientes fundamentales -como la guía experta de un maestro y una actitud de menor apego al "yo"- que las versiones de entrenamiento mental más difundidas pasan por alto. Con el objetivo de erradicar las falsas ideas y la neuromitología, Daniel Goleman y Richard Davidson nos muestran que -más allá de los estados placenteros que los ejercicios mentales provocan- el auténtico resultado beneficioso de estas prácticas reside en que de ellas pueden surgir rasgos perdurables de la personalidad. Y nos invitan a imaginar qué sucedería si, transformando nuestra mente, mejoraran no solo nuestra salud y nuestro bienestar, sino también los de nuestra comunidad y los del mundo entero."--
