Miracles in Macrobiotics

Dear Friends,

Last Sunday, June 13, 2010, I was interviewed by Phiya Kushi, the son of the world-renowned healer Mischio Kushi. During this call I described how I discovered "true" freedom while I was serving a 15-life sentence in prison and how I was able to meditate and practice a healthy diet while behind bars.

Eastern Correctional Facility

Recently, an inmate walked up to me before we began a meditation program at a maximum security prison in upstate New York. He reached out to shake my hand and said: Hi, Alan, don't you remember me? I was here when you first showed up in 1980, with 15 years to Life. I had 40 to Life at the time. I enrolled in your meditation class and have never looked back. You got out and I'm still here. It's been 30 years. I know that I probably will never get out again but it no longer matters. I'm happy, happier than I've ever been before. Meditation completely and utterly changed my life. I'm no longer afraid."

The wonder of terrible things

A wise sage once said, "Things that are terrible have wonderful results. Things that are pleasurable have painful results." We live in a mind-set that wants things to be good all the time. In a changing universe, where everything is ephemeral, this is impossible. A moment's pleasure is here, then it is gone. Frustration, disappointment and unhappiness lives on in its wake. But things that are terrible, things that ultimately can't be avoided or escaped from, finally catch up to us, and in those moments we learn of our strength, our courage and our ability to move through them. In essence, we "wake-up," we become more conscious, so that we can we look back and realize that we are stronger, more confident and happier than ever before. Waking up, becoming more and more aware of who we are---This is meditation and this is the path to Freedom.

Blessings and love,
Alan

People You Should Meet

While on my book signing/workshop tour in LA & Oakland this month, I met some extraordinary people. What a gift it was to share meditation with students at USC, Antioch University and the PHD candidates at Alliant University for Professional Psychology. A huge thank you to Ruth Gilmore for setting up our event in Oakland and to Tom O'Brien for everything he did for us in LA.

I met Damien Senn at one of my booksigning events at the Mystic Journey bookstore in Venice, California. After hearing me speak and reading my book, he called to invite me to be a guest on his on-line radio show that will be broadcast all over the world this coming Thursday, April 29th, at 3-4PM EST.

Damien is from England and an extremely creative and interesting guy! He is going to interview me on April 29th and I'd love to have you join us on that call. We encourage everyone to please feel free to send us your feed-back.

Happy Spring from LA

Welcome to the Spring--A time of opening, moving forward, and blossoming with great beauty and fragrance. What an incredible time for transformation. In today's world, a world that is filled with distraction, drama, struggle and great difficulty, we are constantly being asked from within, whether we are conscious of it or not, to remain centered, present and aware--most of all aware! For when we are aware, we recognize our ability to choose. And it is in our ability to choose "consciously" that we have the freedom to move beyond our limitations and fears. This is the moment of yoga! This is the great gift and ultimate power of meditation.

Greetings from Los Angeles. My trip in January was so successful that I was invited back to the West Coast to facilitate a full day workshop, 10 Keys to Freedom, on April 17th. My intention is to go as deeply as possible into this issue of experiencing the ability to remain happy and free "despite" what people say to us, not "because" of what they say to us. This is the ultimate key to freedom--Real Freedom.

I hope that if you live near Los Angeles or have friends or relatives in the area, you will share the information about this extraordinary workshop with them.
