Something real.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>This book is about that something.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>In this bold and poetic exploration Dr. Jiawei Liu-actor researcher and transpersonal psychologist-asks a simple yet radical question:</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Can acting become a path toward self-discovery and inner awakening?</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Through a powerful fusion of Aikido's flowing principles and the clarity of mindfulness meditation this book introduces a new paradigm of actor training-one that invites performers not to imitate but to inhabit.

It's where we arrive.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>This is a book about acting.
