Gwyneth inspires depression breakthrough
New book reveals the "real deal" about depression. Inspired to make the journey out of depression after seeing a photo of Gwyneth Paltrow practicing yoga, Leisa Millar used her experience with depression to uncover its astonishing truth.

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, August 10, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In her latest reveal-all book, Raindrop of Joy: A Journey Out of Depression, Leisa Millar supports people experiencing depression with astounding new insights from her inspirational personal story.

Millar's wisdom and reflective journey out of depression reveals that depression is an awakening from the darkness of life. "Often people with depression feel as though the darkness is just beginning or getting worse. The absolute truth is that depression in reality is the end of the darkness. Life has always been dark for them - they were just not aware of it", she says.

"Depression is an epidemic in Western society now because people are recklessly playing with the world like a child plays with a toy. They are ignorantly seeking pleasure from success, fame, luxuries, big houses, relationships, socializing, instant gratification and so on. When their incessant-seeking no longer suppresses their pain or satisfies their desires, they strive for more. But when that no longer works for them, they become aware that something is not right. They start to wake-up and realize that the world around them feels dark, they have lost all meaning and they don't like it. Depression comes as a natural signal that people are off track in life," continues Millar.

Millar experienced significant depression at the age of 30 after ending a long-term relationship. Over the past decade she has used a holistic approach including yoga, meditation and lots of self-study to come out of depression. Leisa got the courage to attend her first yoga class about one year after seeing a photograph of Gwyneth Paltrow taken in New York City with a yoga mat under her arm.

Millar says, "Gwyneth stirred a desire in me to find inner peace and I'm deeply grateful for that. I now realize that depression is not like a cold, I didn't need to get rid of it! I just needed to focus on transforming my life on all levels and getting back on track. The more I discovered about what I really wanted in life, the more the depression and darkness lifted."

For people experiencing depression, Millar suggests "they need to examine their inner world for a while instead of focusing on the external world around them. It is extremely rare for people to permanently fix depression without doing this. With a commitment to self-discovery they will work out what they want their life to look like and develop the inner strength they need to take action."
