The Birth of a Spiritual Memoir

Shore's book, "The Ocean Inside Me," is not just a narrative but an odyssey of finding solace and healing in the most unlikely place – prison. As a person of color in a predominantly white prison, Shore's experience was jarring, yet it became the crucible for his transformative journey.

Healing in Confinement

The paradox of finding healing in a place of confinement is central to Shore's narrative. His journey of introspection and discovery of self-healing methods, particularly through visual meditation, is remarkable. The concept of using one’s body as a tool for survival and healing is a profound takeaway.

Visual Meditation: A Gateway to Inner Peace

Shore emphasizes the power of visual meditation, which became his sanctuary amidst the chaos. This practice helped him to navigate through his trauma, leading to profound encounters with younger versions of himself, indicative of internal family systems therapy.

The Challenges of Publishing

Shore's account of the publishing world reveals the stigmas and hurdles faced by authors, especially those with a history of incarceration. His determination to self-publish not only signifies his resilience but also underscores the evolving landscape of the publishing industry.

Empowerment Through Self-Publishing

Choosing to self-publish, Shore took control of his narrative, ensuring that his story is told without filters or external influences. This decision speaks volumes about his commitment to authenticity and his belief in the power of his story.

Expanding Horizons: Masterclasses and Workshops

Shore's vision extends beyond his book. He has developed a masterclass on Udemy, further educating and guiding individuals in visual meditation. His approach to healing is holistic, inviting others to explore their paths to inner peace and healing.

RG Shore's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of introspection and healing.
