" Working with Peter changed the way I move my body. I exercise, dance, and live differently... it' s not only a powerful way to live in a body but a powerful way to live in a body but a powerful way to live. His knowledge and application of body mechanics is more relevant than anything I learned in seven years of medical education." -- Kate McQueen, MD; Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, UTHSC-Houston " "Zen Body-Being" is clearly stated.

Synopsis
In this inspiring guide, Peter Ralston presents a program of " physical education" for anyone interested in body improvement. Using simple, clear language to demystify the Zen mindset, he draws on more than three decades of experience teaching students and apprentices worldwide who have applied his body-being approach.

Exercises are simple, often involving feeling-imagery and meditative awareness, which have a profound and sometimes instant effect. Where similar guides teach readers what to do, this book teaches readers how to "be,", In this inspiring guide, Peter Ralston presents a program of "physical education" for anyone interested in body improvement.
