Zen Body-Being by Peter Ralston

Zen Body-Being by Peter Ralston

A Zen-inspired "physical education" program for martial arts practitioners and anyone interested in mind-body transformation

Using simple, clear language to demystify the Zen mindset, Ralston draws on more than three decades of experience teaching students and apprentices worldwide who have applied his body-being approach.

More of a transformative guide than a specific list of exercises devoted to any particular physical approach,Zen Body-Beingexplains how to create a state of mental control, enhanced feeling-awareness, correct structural alignment, increased spatial acuity, and even a greater interactive presence.

Exercises are simple, often involving feeling-imagery and meditative awareness, which have a profound and sometimes instant effect. Areas of exploration include-

. Beginner's Body-Being
.Three aspects of body awareness
.Five principles for an effortlessly effective body
.Opening a door--five steps to transformation
.Fourteen points on structural alignment

Where similar guides teach readers what todo, this book teaches readers how tobe.
