Does anyone in the tribe know George? I'm trying to contact him.

Coach,

I studied with George back when I was involved with the somatics community in CA. He did the study I was telling you about that was similiar to The Path. I'm sure my friend Jocelyn knows how to get intouch with him. You would like Joc, she was a major influence in my education and at the top of her field in somatics and wellness.

[Scott Sonnon]

That would be great. Could you email me, please?

[Joseph David]

done

I've read that work (Integral Transformative Practice), he did that with Michael Murphy. I was amazed at how parallel their findings and thoughts were to CST/Rmax. Good stuff!

Me too! Not as comprehensive as CST... And different, in a lot of ways, but good stuff!

I met (but don't really know) Sensei Leonard at a seminar he gave several years ago at Boulder Aikikai. Very cool gent!

I was amazed also. The main difference is the sophistication level of the ingrediants. The recipe was essentially the same: Goal setting, mobility, meditation/visualization, diet. Simply effective.

This parellelism also confirmed my conviction towards my personal expression of what CST means to me in my life. The true treasures are deep within personal experience in the modality.

Don't mean to be a necromancer, but I just found this thread while looking for something else. Wanted to mention that I just recently finished reading George Leonard's "Mastery" and would recommend it to anyone. It's an in-depth and enlightening look into the cultivation of discipline and focus, and the spiritual connection that one develops when practicing one's art, craft, or devotion.

[Coach Larson]

I also recommend George Leonard's book.
In fact I just finished a series of reflections on his Keys to Mastery on my website: http://www.lyonhartfitness.com/home/...o-mastery.html

"Mastery" is an excellent book. I've reread it several times. It's on my list of those few books which have survived the test of years (whittled down from literally hundreds).
