Author Interview with Erin Easton
Author Bio:
My name is Erin Easton. I had a long journey from fear to living from the heart and I continue to walk it every day. Fear kept me from being my true self for a long time. I had a father who was emotionally abusive and a brother who was an addict from age 15 on. For my own well-being I developed the ability to people please which kept my family from directing their anger towards me, but in the process I lost myself. My only way to let out the frustration and emotion was to push myself really hard in sports. I was a competitive mountain biker on the USA cycling team through high school and turned my emotional pain into physical pain. I had a lot of really bad crashes that finally led to a back injury that gave me nerve damage down my left leg. I could barely walk, couldn't lean forward at all, and sitting in a chair was excruciating. The thought that I would never be able to do my sports again left me alone to face all of my fears and emotions without the one vice that kept me sane. I had also broken away from my family through the process because they were toxic to my well-being but it left me feeling completely alone and unsupported. I sunk into a deep depression and spent a lot of time in anger. I knew I needed to make a big change to pull myself out of it. So I moved to Geneva Switzerland to do my masters. It was there that I began to study meditation and mindfulness.
