More About Dr Preston

Several years ago, Dr. Terry Preston came to live at my hermitage to study and practice yoga. While helping her to unpack one day, I came across several old notebooks dating back to her college years and before. With her consent I began to read these volumes, and was astounded with what I found.

Here was someone who knew and understood the human mind with a clarity and completeness I had never before encountered among many of my students and friends involved with the psychological profession. Her comprehension of emotions and their interaction with the mind and body was beyond anything I had ever heard or read (and I had read and explored a great deal in this field). Even writings from before her college years contained concepts and detailed information on the mind and emotions that has only begun to be considered valid by the psychological community. Many have yet to be “discovered." Some of this knowledge has even begun to appear as theories that have captured the imagination of the public. Many practitioners have been inspired to put them to the test in their practices. Some have even written books on the various subjects expressed in Dr. Preston’s notebooks of long ago.

Dr. Preston was born with the gift of knowing and understanding these things, as is apparent with her many successes. She also got results applying them on an individual basis in her practice. With this special gift, she provided her people with new dimensions through which they could travel the road to well-being. They were possessed with greater hope, understanding and success. These successes were real, far outshining the usual band-aid therapy and techniques for managing problematic situations and conditions. I have known Dr. Preston long enough to see some of these results for myself.

My respect for Dr. Preston’s gift is without exception. After many years of knowing her, knowing what she knows and how she works, I have come to think of her as a modern-day Patanjali in disguise. It is no wonder she took to the path of yoga like a duck to water.
