Brilliant Stress Management

Acknowledgements

I have known stress in my time, but the single most valuable

thing I learned was how to meditate, in 1989; and I cannot nd

any record of the names of the people who taught and supported

me. If you are reading this, thank you.

I would like to acknowledge all that I learned from my Aikido

teachers and colleagues, and particularly Senseis David Currie

and Alan Mars of the British Ki Aikido Association, and Sensei

Andy Shakeshaft of the Ki Federation of Great Britain.

I also learned a lot about stress from working in a high-stress

environment, so thank you to all my bosses, managers and

clients, from my years at CSL Group and Deloitte – I’d best not

name the ones who gave me the most to practise on!

I would like to thank Abigail ...
