Description
by Jennifer Gordon (Author)
At thirteen, lying in the dark in Vicksburg, Mississippi, I floated out of my own body for the first time. It felt like relief.
STAY is the memoir of a woman born with a sensitivity so acute it would take decades to understand - and the slow, unglamorous, irreversible work of learning to come back.
For anyone who has ever felt outside their own life looking in.
For those who have built outwardly functional lives - careers, marriages, parenthood, achievement - while feeling inwardly disconnected and quietly depleted. This is a book for readers wary of quick fixes and spiritual bypassing, who are seeking a grounded account of how healing actually unfolds across time, not through sudden insight.
Through a high-achieving adolescence, four cities, two marriages, chronic illness, and the loss of her sister to addiction, Jennifer Gordon spent decades using motion and intensity and substances to stay one step ahead of the stillness at her center. STAY is the story of what finally allowed her to stop running - and what she discovered when she did.
It is a literary memoir about embodiment, sensitivity, and the slow integration of a life.
The narrative is mapped through seven interlocking systems - the Hero's Journey, the eight limbs of yoga, the twelve steps of recovery, Gnostic cosmology, and Christ consciousness - each one a different language for the same arc from innocence through descent through integration through return.
Twenty-one chapters. Twenty-one somatic companion practices.
Each chapter is followed by a short embodied practice designed to meet the material in the body, not just the mind. STAY is both a memoir and a quiet workbook for readers who want to do the work alongside the reading.
The sensitivity Jennifer spent decades managing, hiding, and medicating was never the wound. It was her gift.
This book is for anyone ready to learn how to stay.
Jennifer Gordon is a Holistic Health Practitioner, Reiki Master, yoga teacher, and person in long-term recovery. She lives in Southern California with her two sons.
