Aikido Breathing and Meditation Technique

Hi everyone! I discovered this great book about aikido and wanted to share it with you.

Life In Three Easy Lessons In One Easy Page

I. Presence
Substance / Rhythm / Center
You can’t get there from not here

II. Harmony
Fluidity / Adaptability / Blend
The only constant in the universe is change

Listening / Melody / Lead
The mystery is infinite

Through the this meditation technique you are starting off on this road and exercising presence and turning presence into awareness.

The Voice of Aikido- Mirror of the Spirit: The Aikido Dojo

Another voice recording this time Chapter 17 from The Principles of Aikido by Mitsugi Saotome (1989 p.204-206)

A voice recording about ettiquette in the Dojo. It could be interesting for beginner aikidoka who do not understand how and why they have to behave in a certain manner when while training. It is also a good guideline for those who want to see more in depth the historical background that lead to the development of the dojo etiquette. All in all it is really informative, but enough about my writing and let's hear the wise words of Saotome Sensei.
