Acerca deste libro electrónico
An illustrated guide to uniting physical control with mental calm, by an experienced martial artist and practicing Buddhist.
The medieval Samurai of Japan have long been depicted as the consummate warriors of Asia. While the physical training the Samurai underwent was intense and exacting, much of their skill was based on their mental refinement as well as their physical prowess.
At the forefront of integrating spiritual understanding into the martial arts, Scott Shaw, the author of Zen O’Clock draws upon his years of study of Buddhist culture to show you how to acquire higher awareness through the art of Zen and Iaido, or the meditative art of the sword. He begins by teaching you how to control and refine your physical senses, while quieting your mind and your emotions as well as your reactions to other people’s energies. Next, with clear instruction and photographs, he guides you through both standing and seated forms of Iaido. He also includes powerful breathing exercises for centering yourself and directing energy.
Includes illustrations
