GEISHA, A LIFE
(Co-Author)

“It’s extensive details come from the unfading memory of the person who breathed life into these moments, glimpses into a hidden world. A valuable look at a little-known work, and an intimate glimpse into Japanese culture.”

Kirkus Review

No woman in the three-hundred-year history of the karyukai has ever come forward in public to tell her story—until now.

"Many say I was the best geisha of my generation," writes Mineko Iwasaki. "And yet, it was a life that I found too constricting to continue. And one that I ultimately had to leave." Trained to become a geisha from the age of five, Iwasaki would live among the other "women of art" in Kyoto's Gion Kobu district and practice the ancient customs of Japanese entertainment. She was loved by kings, princes, military heroes, and wealthy statesmen alike. But even though she became one of the most prized geishas in Japan's history, Iwasaki wanted more: her own life. And by the time she retired at age twenty-nine, Iwasaki was finally on her way toward a new beginning.

Geisha, a Life is her story -- at times heartbreaking, always awe-inspiring, and totally true.

SCIENCE AND THE EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
(Editor & Translator)

“A breath taking scientific link between human body and mind.”

—FIVE STAR REVIEW

“ Points the way toward a unification of spirit and science in a split world badly in need of healing”

—Stanley Krippner, Ph.D. Humanistic Psychology Institute

Dr. Motoyama offers an integrated model of holistic man which derives from the ancient health practices of India and Chine. I particularly value his innovative research for the implications they hold for the development of preventive health practices for all people.”

—Dolores Krieger, Ph. D., R. N., Professor of Nursing, New York University

“One may announce with confidence that, should the Motoyama AMI device in scientific hands probe effective in revealing the existence of the chakra system, this discovery will be heralded throughout the world. Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama must them be ranked alongside Galileo and Leeuwenhoek, for future man will never again perceive himself in the same way.

—E. Stanton Maxey, M.D., Florida Heart Institute

Here, for the first time in English, Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama—a physician and acupuncturist, parapsychologist and psychic, yogi and electrical engineer—describes his newly devised techniques for providing the non-physical basis of Mind. The author's revolutionary research proves the validity of the ancient Indian teachings of Kundalini Yoga and the Chinese theory of acupuncture, while providing a systematic explanation of how such phenomena as psychic healing and clairvoyance really work, Dr. Motoyama establishes criteria for distinguishing between true pathological states of mind/body and the often similar symptoms that may result from meditation and mystical experience. He also offers a rationale for the practice of yoga aimed at cultivating the highest potentialities of human consciousness.
