To every individual who takes self-healing action. You are helping the human race to remember how to awaken and master the healer within. To the parents, grandparents, teachers, neighbors, and friends who pass this practical wisdom on to the children.

To the health care organizations, physicians, nurses, health educators, and wellness professionals who are actively implementing programming founded on health enhancement, stress mastery, and the interactions of the body, mind, and spirit. To teachers, politicians, corporate executives, ministers, and rabbis who encourage health enhancement. As you offer this knowledge and these tools to the people in your community, you are demonstrating service and love of the highest order. You are fostering the return of the lost value of self-reliance, so critically needed in our communities today.

To my circle of mentors, which includes numerous ancient and modern physicians, Native American medicine people, Chinese and Ayurvedic doctors, Hawaiian healers, and especially my own grandmother, who taught me self-healing methods in my youth.

To Marjorie Love, who administered liberal doses of love and support, the profound medicines that mothers give. She was able to offer me the freedom to follow my own alternative impulses, which have now led to this remarkable work in the realm of human empowerment through practical wisdom and inspiration.

And to Rebecca, from a heavenly source, a co-worker in lifes fascinating flow, who heals through the sound of her voice, her listening, and her connection to the divine.

My grateful acknowledgment for your support and encouragement is most sincere.

To Weng Chi-Hsiu (Daniel Weng), who taught me the value of dedicated training in Kungfu through his own discipline and who gave me my first and favorite Taiji (Tai Chi). To Doctor Ernest Shearer, who transformed me from a student of medicine into a clinician with a powerful vision of the healer within. To the wonderful, open-hearted master teachers at the institutes, hospitals, and temples in China who have so freely shared the arts of self-healing with a hope for worldwide healing. To the members of the original Wednesday Practice Session, who helped to bring the health enhancement methods to a broader audience, and to the hospitals in Santa Barbara as well as the Adult Education program and the City Recreation program for helping to support the weekly practice session over the years.
