I'd like to meet:
Â
Going to LA recently to talk about the publication there of my next book and about some music and TV projects, having not been for a long time, I figured I’d need to have a handy tag by which to describe myself at Hollywood parties and so on, seeing as LA is hustlers’ paradise and people have such short attention spans. I spent a while trying to come up with something that would encapsulate me in three words and failed. So I gave up and landed at LAX sans tag. Actually I wear a Tag and as it happened everyone knew who I was anyway, so I forgot all about it.
Then just recently Simon, the wizard who’s looking after my page here for me, and which until he came along has been sorely in neglect because I’ve been too darn busy to remember it was there, suggested I wrote a new biog to explain myself and I still don’t know where to start.
So how about this?
I’m a martial arts master who specializes in the internal forms of Taoism, an expert in Taoist medicine, meditation and philosophy, author of 13 related, mostly best-selling books including 'Handbook For The Urban Warrior', musician and music producer, erstwhile DJ and performer, public speaker, large-internet-site proprietor, creator of School For Warriors online training courses, creator of fragrance and related body products, workshop leader and leader in the self-development field. My passion is to translate the fruits of my so far 43 years of study into gifts you can use to make your own life move with more fluency, your mind to operate with more smoothness and your sense of self to take on more meaning and value. I’m interested in helping people find their way to happiness, which I believe is the natural state when we stop driving ourselves mad with unnecessary self-torture. And I think if I can eventually build up enough of a voice to reach round the globe and with it, can effectively encourage the whole world to relax a few degrees more, that’ll be most of what’s needed to see us through this multi-level survival crisis of unprecedented proportions we now stare bemusedly into the face of.
From the age of 11, I’ve studied Aikido, and then Tai Chi, Pa Kua, Hsing I and White Crane with various masters, I trained in psychotherapy and life-wisdom with RD Laing, the infamous counter-culture psychiatrist, though never actually practiced as a psychotherapist myself, I studied acupuncture and had an acupuncture practice in London from 1983 to 2000. I lived with the Native Americans in New Mexico between 1979 and 1983 and learned the shaman’s way, and I’ve travelled the world teaching and sharing, producing and negotiating ever since.
I took the name Barefoot Doctor from the ancient Chinese doctors who’d go humbly about the countryside teaching Tai Chi and healing and entertaining people wherever they went, because I used to do acupuncture barefoot and needed a name for my band at the time and was always into Dr John.
And now it’s a household name.
However I’m not a household man, as I spend most of my time travelling from place to place and so live everywhere and nowhere at the same time, so I hope with this page I’ll be able to be in contact with you, whoever you are, as long as you’re nice.
Nice talking to you.
