'The key to self-development, says Mike Sayama, is the experience of samadhi, a state of relaxed concentration in which the individual neither freezes out of fear nor clings due to desire. Simply stated, samadhi is the free flow of vital energy within the body and between the body and the universe... The first part of the book studies self-realization in Zen Buddhism. The author pinpoints its essence in Buddha's enlightenment... The second part of the book presents Zen therapy, a way of self-development emphasizing the cultivation of samadhi through psychological training.'
