Episode Synopsis "Accessing Spirit Through The Art of Peace"

In this episode I explore an idea of what it means to access ones spirit and to bring that into a healing context. This is an idea stated a couple times in the classical texts of Chinese medicine. In those works though there isn't much in the expression of how to do this. I was listening to someone read the book Art of Peace by Morihei Ueshiba. This is a book on the translated expressions of the founder of Aikido throughout his life time. As I was listening I realized a lot of the expression in this book spoke to me and this idea of accessing ones spirit within.  What follows is my attempt to examine this work and compare it to the fundamental truths of life. As well as how these foundation truths reflect in the healing arts and shiatsu particularly. I am a firm believer that when we devote ourselves to a single path in life it can enlighten us to the truths that exist in all paths in life.
