“Renée Gregorio points the way to a self-expression that sparkles, shines, and roars with a truth and beauty that is uniquely your own. I will cherish this book as a beloved companion on all future writing adventures.”“Renée Gregorio offers writers a unique body-centered path into discovery and creativity.”“Gregorio explores the relationship between the human body and creativity in a way that will benefit all writers. In this book you’ll find thoughtful insight, encouragement, and dynamic exercises. Gregorio’s approach can both inspire the beginner and help practicing writers deepen and expand. The Writer Who Inhabits Your Body is both a friend and teacher. Follow along!”“This is a wonderful resource for anyone who writes or has ever wanted to write. Using practices and principles from aikido, Renée offers exercises that awaken the mind/body/spirit connection, activating inspiration and insights from a place ‘rich with untapped knowing.’ She invites readers to open heart and soul and shows how to tap the creativity that emerges from their internal landscape.”“A wonderfully crafted, beautifully written, highly accessible approach that illuminates and takes you through the doorway of writing. Gregorio takes you on a journey into your heart, gut, and embodied soul that sparkles with revelations in how your dreams, images, and longings become language.”“A writing process that is so much more than words on paper with pen or ink. Your words will spill, erupt, fly, and whisper, emergent foremost from who you are yourself. Gregorio will help you bring yourself to the page. Get quiet and listen to your own voice.”“In The Writer Who Inhabits Your Body, Renée speaks powerfully to the benefits of the ongoing process of settling and clearing, which brings about wider and wider rings of listening, until the writer and what’s being written about are in harmonious relationship.”“What an honor to explore writing as path, aikido as path, somatics as path, with someone who has been in practice for decades. This book is an invitation to the interface of what is most internal and the offering of that to the world. Scary and full of awe.”“Provides pathways of understanding and profound practices to guide writers into themselves with all the complexities, challenges, and opportunities writers face. In this way, Gregorio leaves no stone unturned and provides practical hope to being a writer. A masterful work.”“In this exquisite book of heart and feeling, wisdom and practice, Renée Gregorio deftly guides the reader through practices that plumb the depths of that stream. This book is a must-read for anyone who is longing for ‘a place where you know what it means to rest in yourself and let words arise.’”“This book is a gift: a poetic, embodied, and practical guide that lets you spring forth as written word.”
