Thirty two years experience in several forms of meditation practice, many years of martial arts practice, most recently Aikido, Tai Chi and Qi Gong. Statement: RECLAIMING ENERGY, EQUILIBRIUM, AND CREATIVITY: In my experience, the pain and distress that bring people to therapy is rooted in a sense of separation from the flow of life around and within us. This appears in many emotional forms such as depression, anxiety, and anger, with consequences in relationships, work, and health. The task of therapy then, is to recover and enliven our direct experience of life in the moment. In this process, we become aware of what has interrupted that flow, often assumptions and beliefs about life and ourselves that can be reconsidered or changed. As we make peace with our experience, we are free to make new choices and participate in the flow of life with equilibrium and creativity. I am active and engaged as a therapist. Many of the difficulties that bring one to therapy have interpersonal origins and must be addressed interpersonally. The therapy session is thus a place for exploration, respectful engagement, and experimentation. Not always easy or comfortable, but lively and rewarding. J.
