Stephen Russell, who writes under the pseudonym "the Barefoot Doctor", is a practitioner and teacher of Taoism, its medicine, philosophy, meditation practices and martial arts and manifesting system, or wu wei. He is also known for his work combining personal development with electronic dance music, and runs ‘conscious’ electronic dance music events around the world. His pseudonym is taken from the barefoot doctor system set up by Mao Zedong in 1960's China, which gave farmers basic medical training to bring health care into rural areas. ==Personal life== Russell was born in London, 13 September 1954. His father, Victor (1930 – 2003) was a businessman and jazz drummer, and one of Russell's cousins was the saxophonist Stan Getz. Russell completed his primary education at Holland House in North London, then went to Beechwood Park preparatory school in Hertfordshire. He continued his education at the public school Merchant Taylors' in Moor Park. As a young man, Russell's desire was to become a major contributor to humanity’s wellbeing. His initial training comprised studying Aikido at 11. In his teens he switched to studying T'ai chi, one of the three Taoist ‘internal martial arts’, so called because they rely on following a set of internal principles while in the midst of movement or action. Russell has three sons, and he has performed on stage with the youngest at several music festivals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Barefoot Doctor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
