Not only did meditations and mindfulness bodywork release my writers block, but it helped me get off my pain killers, mood stabilizers, and anxiety/depression medication. There we will do an interview with Jen Angeli about her new book Kino and the King. I also had the worst writers block at that time so I signed up for mindfulness bodywork classes in hopes that it’ll open my mind to write. That’s when I knew I needed to do some internal work. When I came back to my childhood home, all of these memories came back and I felt my body reacting with pain. However, life brought me back to the house I grew up in when my dad passed away from pancreatic cancer and my mom passed away with Alzheimer’s six months later. Hawaii is home so I’ve always had a calling and longing for Hawaii, but I didn’t want to move back. I grew up in Hawaii but moved out of there when I was 18.
