You'll attain peak performance and flow in sports, business, academics, relationships, and stress management, along with health benefits and deeper spiritual understanding. You'll be more playful and tranquil, have greater compassion and a clearer perception of reality, and become a better communicator with your colleagues and loved ones. With continued practice, you can even come to terms with death, the most feared aspect of our humanity.The Ten Paradoxes, through extensive research and case studies, leads you on a journey to the secrets of the ancient masters. First, it reveals the basic functions and mechanisms of the mind, beginning with the way we filter and interpret our perceptions, which then limits and restricts our actions and reactions. Finally, we will see how the mind defensively creates the self that we know as the "I" the ego, or personality. This is the ultimate illusion that we all need to come to grips with. And when we do, our intuition and creativity blossom, and we become fully alive and open. The practice of No Mind® will actually un-train your thinking and teach you how to achieve Total Mental Fitness® by transcending the very structure of the mind. As long as we live in a dualistic reality, we keep searching for what we think will complete us: material objects, relationships, achievements, spirituality, etc. But, The Ten Paradoxes program frees you from the limitations of these perceptual and ego defense mechanisms and allows you to control your thoughts and desires. And we can truly be in control of our destiny, decisions, and responses, without the troublesome emotions we normally face, such as fear, worry, anxiety, prejudice, and greed.

Ikkyu was an unrelenting advocate of enlightenment through sexuality the Red Thread of Zen. Despite his reputation for mischief, he was known to be extremely smart, and is still revered in modern-day Japan as a folk hero. Master Nomi translates the Ancient Stone into a metaphoric compass of enlightenment and peak performance a step-by-step transformational journey to Total Mental Fitness® through two important books: the 794-page treatise The Ten Paradoxes and the popular Where's My Zen? parable. The outcome experiencing enlightenment, living in the Now, and achieving peak performance is more accessible than ever before.Harrison lives with his daughters, Chelsea and Allix, and their little Boxer, Kokoa, in their Zen-inspired urban retreat.
