FOREWORD

"There once was a scholar of Chinese thought who came

to visit a village which was suffering from a most unusual

prolonged drought. All the people were very worried,

since everything had been done to end it. Every kind of

prayer, charm and magic had been used, but all to no

avail. So the elders of the village told the old scholar that

the only thing left was to send for the rainmaker.

The old scholar was very interested in this idea, since he

had never seen a rainmaker before. The rainmaker

arrived in a covered car. He was a small and wizened old

man. He stepped out of the car and smelled the air in

disgust. He then asked for a house on the outskirts of the

village. He insisted that no one should disturb him and

that his food should be placed outside his door.

No one heard or saw him for three days, when everyone

was awakened by a heavy downpour of rain. It was even

at times snowing, which was unusual for that time of year.

FOREWORD

The old scholar was deeply impressed and went to see

him. The scholar asked, "So you can make rain?" The

rainmaker scoffed at the idea and said "of course I can't."

The scholar replied, "but there was the most persistent

drought until you came, and within a few days it rains?"

"Oh," replied the rainmaker, "that was something quite

different. You see, I came from a region where everything

was in order. It rains when it should and is dry when that

is needed, and the people are also in order and Harmony

with themselves. But that was not the case with the people

here. They were all out of Harmony with themselves. I

was at once ill when I arrived, so I had to be totally alone

until I was once more in Harmony with myself and then

of course quite naturally it rained!"

The essence of this little story is that when you are in

Harmony with yourself the whole world begins to

orchestrate with you. The Lazy Man's Guide to Relaxation

is about finding this Harmony within yourself. You see,

this is one of the great secrets of life, learning how to be in

Harmony with yourself, and thus with the world. To do

. this -- to be in Harmony -- to be yourself-- you must first

know how to relax. If you are truly relaxed everything

begins to change. There is no need for deep penetrating

thought — only the Bliss of Relaxation.

In this little book written by a man with a vast

knowledge encompassing various fields, the reader is

treated to a nurturing and penetrating method of deep

relaxation accomplished with simplicity and ease.

Now —this is it! Let the portrait of the real you emerge,

full of beauty, poise and confidence. The tensions of

everyday life will drop away like so many leaves off a tree.

FOREWORD

After a few weeks of practice a new exhilaration will be

yours. There will be joyousness in your heart and you will

meet life with gaiety and vivacity. But, more importantly

there will be peace of mind. You will be freed from the

labour of worry.

So often the stress and strain of life makes us callous to

friendship and love. We become short, sometimes even

hostile. But it is very important never to forget that even

though the frequent hardships of life cause pain, that

asleep within — is Harmony, the Being at one with

everything -- the profound graceful source that can turn

everything into a symphony of Joy.
