About me

Gender	Male
Industry	Education
Location	Los Angeles, California, United States
Introduction	I am a yogi, an artist, therapist, a painter, and a scholar. My Father, Lew Ayres was a humanitarian, philosopher and an artist (Actor in film and television, painter and sculptor, and amazing taker of walks!). Like him, I am a reader of depth and breadth of all world wisdom: we love to have a view of this world, and both of us might walk a long way on foot to obtain such a view or vision. My interests have moved strongly in the direction of Yoga: as a means of actually physically and mentally attaining the states described of in philosophy. I add to this attempt to actualize my own practice as a healer, a psychotherapist and Qi Gong practitioner. In my practice I work with personality issues, family issues. I prefer to work with those who have the capacity to defer to their own dreams (real spontaneous dreams occurring in sleep, not ideological programming we call things like "the American Dream" -- though I am not adverse entirely to this dream either): those people who actually have a relationship to the unconscious and dreams: it makes them in general slightly less literal, and more honest. I hope it makes me honest as well.
