It will help to make you healthier, happier, more beautiful and best of all - more truly who you really are.

Each human being is utterly unique. Like the seed of a plant which has encoded within its genetic material the characteristics that will in time produce the full-grown flower, each of us comes into this world carrying a package of as yet unrealized but incredibly rich potential. Like the individual brushstroke the zen painter uses to represent one leaf on a shaft of bamboo, the leaf he paints is totally singular - like no leaf which has ever existed. And yet within its uniqueness is encompassed universal beauty and life energy of the highest order. So it is with each human being. Within the individual genetic package which is you is nestled your very own brand of uniqueness that encompasses far greater physical, creative and spiritual potential than any of us.

The remarkable thing about a seed is that very little is needed for it to develop into a plant: some good earth rich in organic matter, some rain (not too much or the seed will rot), the sun (not too much or the young leaves will burn). These three simple things can provide the environment in which the tiny plant grows into a full-blown flower.

People are very much like plants. All we need is a good healthy environment which allows this unfolding to take place, The only problem is, more often than not, the environment - physical, emotional, spiritual, social - in which we grow does not support our full unfolding. And so, like a plant trying to develop in depleted soil with too little rain and too little sun, or a seedling trying to grow around a stone, we develop our own brand of distortions. These distortions can be physical - a sunken chest, poor posture, or an excess of fat created to cushion us against a hard external world. They can be emotional - a sense the we cannot trust ourselves, intense shyness, lack of confidence, or a feeling of being unworthy or guilty. They can even be spiritual - a sense of meaninglessness which leads to addiction, a greed for material things, a lust for power. Gradually such distortions become so much a part of our lives that we come to feel they are part of who we actually are.
