My life is dedicated to facilitation on consciousness through the realization of body. We face a vast array of pressing problems. I think they can be simplified. Our consciousness has developed in a way that is moving away from our bodies. Simply put, our mental awareness does not relate well to our bodies. Just consider how we treat the earth, woman's bodies, each other and on and on. We need to realize more profoundly that our bodies are an essential aspect of our thinking process. We need this balancing influence.

As a writer, philosopher and yoga teacher, I have founded a non-profit that aims to make mind-body interaction and practical and accessible insight. I am also paralyzed from the chest down. In other words I live a straightforward version of a mind-body problem. I have been deeply struck by the insight that my problem is all of our problem. We are all leaving our bodies, some just more slowly than others. Mind-body integration is essential to our evolving consciousness. I will work for this the rest of my life.
