When I was 18, I read Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Tao Te Ching. It blew my mind,…read moreresonating with thoughts I had only dimly been aware of having. I really wanted to follow the Tao, but the book was maddeningly silent on how, practically, you do that. So over the years I would vacillate between thinking the Tao was self-evident and thinking the Tao must be for someone else's planet. But at Toward Harmony, they (my teacher is Dan Winter) teach you how to begin to practice the Tao, directly and smartly. There is no cultural dross you have to sort through, no ceremonial surplusage to endure and no reverence for or attachment to any particular concepts. I study qigong with Dan, which is a physical exercise that doubles as a meditation; so it is a perfect antidote to my stressful, sedentary career. It is more mindful than Hatha yoga and more physical than Buddhist meditation (as I've experienced them taught in New England). Just right.

Her kind nature immediately made me comfortable, and from day one her intelligence and intuition about NAET and acupuncture were readily apparent. Compared to a childhood spent sneezing and coughing from numerous allergies, I can now live a comfortable, healthy life. I would highly recommend Lucy to anyone interested in tackling allergies and living a healthier life. NAET is a unique approach, so it important to take the time to read the materials and understand the approach. Essentially the concept is that no one should be allergic to anything, it's just that our body has been trained to react to it. NAET blends a variety of Eastern Medicine practices to combat it. Given the methodology, it may take 5-6 sessions before you begin to see results. But as someone who has experienced it for over 10 years, it does make a major difference.
