About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be enlightened and to enlighten others. :-)

ABOUT ME

Pretty well-rounded guy: musical, funny, and a real hands-on healer. Personable. Interested in everything and everyone. Great host, with good sense of domestic feng shui. Strongly influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. Progressive/spiritual activist. Many people in New England assume I'm from the West coast, but I grew up on suburban Long Island, and have lived in New England since. For a good view of my professional work, please see www.LonnyBrown.com

PHILOSOPHY

All is One.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being a professional health counselor who likes to walk the walk, I could very well be the strongest 65 year-old you know. I teach yoga, meditation, and holistic stress reduction.
You know you're a writer when you can't help it. Go ahead and google my name.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No "official" CouchSurfing experience yet, but a close friend is an enthusiastic participant. In the early 70's I successfully hitch-hiked throughout Europe, often relying on the hospitality of new local friends. It's a really rich way to meet people and share cultures.

Interests

Among other things, I am an amateur scientist. I love great technology, space exploration, cosmology, relativity, quantum mechanics, and string theory. I play acoustic guitar and sing boomer music. I am a published author and veteran free-lance writer.
I love to fly my 7-foot two-line stunt kite on the beach, and watch people enjoy the show. I am a professional health nut, and have been vegetarian for over 40 years.

Music, Movies, and Books

too many to list, but I promise to get back to you on this one. :-)
For now, let's just say My Cousin Vinny.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Making unmistakable, lasting close eye contact with a great ape, through three inches of glass, at the Toronto zoo.
Seeing a huge comet while on LSD and camping out in the desert of Morocco, circa 1971.
Meditation retreats with some wonderful high lamas and teachers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been doing bodywork and hands-on healing for over 40 years. I can teach anyone autonomic controls through biofeedback training. The title of my first book is, "Self-Actuated Healing."
