Be Soft in Your
Practice
Sheng-yen
"Be soft in
your practice,
Think of it as a fine silvery
stream,
Not a raging waterfall.
Follow the stream,
Have faith in its course.
It will go its own way
Meandering here,
Trickling there.
It will find the grooves,
The cracks, the crevices.
Just follow it out of your sight.
It will take you.".

Aphorism 67
Some say that my teaching is nonsense.
Others call it lofty but impractical.
But to those who have looked inside themselves,
this nonsense makes perfect sense.
And to those who put it into practice,
this loftiness has roots that go deep.
I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.

Posture Alignment
Therapy for Health and Chronic Pain Relief:
**Call me at
(203)488-1700 for a free consultation on whether the Posture Alignment
approach is appropriate for your individual concerns.
Give the body
what it needs to heal and continue to serve you and your life!
Posture
Alignment Therapy, based upon a functional approach to Yoga and movement
as well as my training as a Posture Alignment Specialist(PAS )
certified by Egoscue®,
is an
extraordinary non-medical therapeutic approach to pain relief and overall fitness.
The work has developed over time and is unique in the
unrelenting focus on treating the whole body as a unit to restore proper
alignment and function utilizing a unique synthesis of elements of Yoga,
therapeutic movement
and functional exercise. As a consequence the work is not a quick fix,
but rather a unique and complete approach
to generate balance and enhanced functional fitness to your life.
In an individual therapy program, specific functional exercise
sequences are developed for each person based upon the posture and
movement
patterns presented.
These sequences are performed at home and are aimed at resolving
specific postural imbalances that have been found to be the root cause of
chronic and acute non medical muscular-skeletal pain. As proper alignment is
restored the possibility of healing and enhanced overall comfort and ease
in your body unfolds.
The method is simple and
accessible, powerful and effective.
