New Book Offers Struggle-free Approach to Healing, Wholeness and Self-discovery

KINGSTON, N.Y. - Nov. 1, 2018 - PRLog -- Influenced by the rare meeting of Iyengar yoga and the ancient harmonizing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu, High Falls resident Zena Cohen has compiled her life's work into one extraordinary publication, Alignment and the Sacred Core, which offers a struggle-free approach to alignment that is deeply relaxing and can jointly awaken one more fully to our instinctual intelligence. Taking readers on a journey of self-discovery, Zena explores health, healing and wholeness in fresh new ways, incorporating her original poetry and insightful wisdom, as well as beautiful illustrations by Los Angeles-based artist Teresa Lakier, that invite each one of us to enter into an ever-deepening consciousness with an evolutionary zest.

"Iyengar yoga, in particular, with its rigorous discipline as well as its deep requirement for alignment, precision and balance, ignited an unquenchable thirst in me for exploring body/mind/spirit and beyond," says Zena, whose entry into wholeness began at the tender age of five during an event at her school that focused on the spine. "Through Iyengar yoga intensives in Pune, India, including workshops and studies with senior Iyengar teachers in South Africa and the U.S. over a period of 18 years, I dedicated myself to continuous training, experiencing, teaching and repertoire so that I could share it with the world."

Born and raised in South Africa, Zena immigrated to the United States in 1987, settling for decades in San Diego before moving to upstate New York. Living in the richness of family life, her experiences were broadened and deepened by her three children, five grandsons and two great granddaughters, all of whom gave her many opportunities and the space at 79 to grow and develop into a teacher, writer and researcher in her own unique way.

An astrologer, Zen practitioner and certified Jin Shin Jyutsu instructor, Zena has been enriched and guided by many masters and teachers such as American Zen Master Charlotte Joko Beck and Spiritual Master OSHO, whom she credits for opening and allowing the pioneering development of her creative and profound life's work. Her approach to wholeness is one of deep insight that invokes a sense of self-discovery and innovative ways of developing the healing arts and sciences both within herself and those with whom she works. It is this integrative approach that led her to writing and publishing Alignment and the Sacred Core.
