Genpo Roshi is pulling up the stick on Big Mind and who can use the name of his trade marked dialog in their advertising. Therefore I have taken off all mention of Big Mind on my web site, per his request. It will feel odd not giving him credit for this amazing tool- which is a combination of Voice Dialog and Zen- and I also understand it is dear to him and he doesn’t want others use of it to take away from his legacy. I remain a student of his and will continue my training as usual.
On my web site, I will be calling it Persona/ Voice Dialog instead- which is language used to describe the process based on the work of Gay and Katie Henricks (persona) and Hal and Sidra Stone (voice dialog). I bow to them and Roshi for their incredible breakthroughs in developing this amazing process. It is an honor to use it for these clinics and it is alarmingly effective for sports training.
Kristen,
I just read the Ski Magazine article on STL and found your website. What a thrill to discover the convergence of two the most meaningful passions in my life: skiing and spiritual awareness. My wife and I have been blessed to have skiing mentors like John Clendenin, Harald Harb and Diana Rogers. We are practitioners of Holosync Mediation and have been lead by Bill Harris to Gempo Roshi and the Big Mind experience through DVDs and CDs. We are excited at the prospects to join you next year. Until then we will try to keep the “voice of fear” and the “voice of the show off” in balance.
