Increase your energy flow
Japanese Gardens are designed as not just to reflect the harmony and balance of nature, but to help you experience it. Walking through a Japanese Garden you get the impression that it is much larger than it actually is, because it presents so many delightful views. The garden paths, stones, and bridges are desiged to bring you slowly and surely back to your senses.
Tokyo's sprawling urban landscape actually contains many such garden oases. This week I conducted two workshops on the SAMURAI WALK, the first was held on Tuesday (Sep 28) at Kiyosumi Teien, and the second was held on Saturday (Oct 2) at the International House of Japan in Roppongi.
Both of these gardens are surely power spots.
As is the magic that happens when you combine your walk with training in the Art of Physical Finesse, combining elements of Nanba Walking and Aikido, in the setting of a Japanese Garden.
I made a couple of sketches painted in flowing text, to create the impression of the flow of energy and thoughts that occurs when you learn natural movement in a natural setting.
These sketches illustrate my experience and my conviction that fluid walking and fluent thinking are close cousins.
Join me for the next SAMURAI WALK Events on Oct 31 (Sun) and Nov 16 (Tue) 2010.
Ram Dass on the Power of Compassion

Ram Dass retells a classic Aikido story by Terry Dobson
This video is interesting connects a lot of dots. In it Ram Dass tells a classic story of an experience that Terry Dobson, one of the earliest Western students of Aikido and an uchideshi for Master Ueshiba, experienced on a Tokyo train in the 1960s.
I met Ram Dass when I was just out of High School, the year that his classic book Be Here Now came out in 1971, and the year before I went to Japan to begin a lifetime study of Aikido.
The Terry Dobson story is one of the classics in Aikido literature in English, because it makes the point so well about winning without fighting. Ram Dass narrates the story here in a slide show mixing photos and animation.
The synchronicity of this story surfaced some years later, when a very similar thing happened to me in a train in Tokyo, in an embarrassing scrabble with an angry drunk. The incident had a similar effect on me, and which many years later I had produced in Manga form.
