About the authors
Drs. C. Alexander and Annellen Simpkins live in
San Diego and are both psychologists who have specialized in studies of the
mind. They have devoted many years to the study of hypnosis and have taught
meditation skills to people of all ages. They have also spent the past 25 years
involved in the martial arts as practitioners, instructors, and writers. Their
work in meditation spans their two worlds of professional interest: martial
arts and psychology, adding a unique and comprehensive perspective to this book.
In addition to contributing regularly to martial arts publications, they are
the authors of Principles of Meditation, Living Meditation, Zen Around the
World, and Meditation from Thought to Action, all published by Tuttle. (amazon)
