Myken Woods -McKenna's Page

I am a practicing artist since the early 80's . I have enjoyed networking and collaborating with like minded artists , especially ideas that involve cultural exchange. My interest in Eastern culture developed when I met my Taoist teacher Lin Chien Shih in the late 70's. he passed away in 1990...his passing was a great loss to me.
Currantly I enjoy listening to lectures and podcasts about Buddhism and the like while I work. I practice some hot yoga , sitting meditation and a little Qi Gong. I was introduced to SHEN a couple of years ago, SHEN is a hands on therepudic touch practice that helps release difficult emotions that are stored in the body from past traumatic unresolved emotional experiences. My SHEN experience is so similar to being aware of the body /emotion/ mind experience in my meditation practice and relates so profoundly to what Ken says in his teachings.
My husband Bill and I have five children and twelve grandchildren between us.
I still feel quite isolated in my practice, although Unfettered has been a positive counter balance to some of that islolation.Another good thing is that we have a very small meditation group that meets once a week.
