Shintaido does grow new neural pathways I’m sure.

I’d love to hear more about your ideas for physical therapy. Psychotherapy is still very biased to the verbal (and the web and blogs too of course. There was a report in an Australian paper that one of the reasons people avoid the web is fears about literacy).

My co-writer and I did self-publish our previous book. The promotion is a heap of work. However this was years before I knew about blogs. I think I still have the text of the booklet filed away on my computer at home (I’ll be back from holidays mid next week).

Why not use it as a free ebook? Well, because I didn’t think of it! Marketing really is not my gift is it? Thanks for the link to Scott’s site I’ll investigate.

It’s a very good thought and I’ll start following it up as soon as I get back.

Thanks.

Is the booklet available? I’d love to see it if it is.

Why not use it as a free ebook? If people are free to viral market that there will be a (free!) market for your book.

I’m enjoying your story.

This really made me sit up: “if aerobics helps us be patient what exercise would help us develop compassion? Shintaido, with its emphasis on the heart rather than the lower belly was one answer to this.” I have had (the completely unfounded) idea that some sort of physical therapy might be the way for people with lack of conscience/compassion. To link an eastern and a western way of thinking: is it possible, do you think, that Shintaido grows neural pathways?

Like Kila I also think an ebook is a good way to go. Another way is to self-publish and market yourself. Scott Ginsburg at hellomynameisscott.com has a free ebook register under ‘Articles’) ‘203 things I’ve learned about writing, marketing, and selling books’.

Thanks Kila.

I’m glad you find my story interesting.

I hadn’t thought of doing an ebook.

Well worth thinking about.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to comment.

Hi Evan! Wow - that’s really interesting stuff. One of your last comments really struck me. I think that a lot of evangelical christians don’t pay a lot of attention to the body because they have been taught to focus on other things - even though the body is supposed to be the temple. They don’t see the body, the mind and the spirit as one. I never really thought about it that way before, however, it clearly is true. That was a great point.

Perhaps you should write a book or an e-book to help people like that understand the connection between a strong body and a strong mind. That’s the first thing I thought of when I read that piece of your post.

Thanks John.

I’m glad for your interest and excitement.

I too think that for all of us our story is interesting. I’d like to see lots more people telling their story (the blogosphere is still quite heady I think, not so much heart and little vulnerability).

Hope you like the next installment as much. And I hope you think of writing your own story (as will the others) and posting it if you have a blog.

Thanks for your interest and taking the time to comment.
