The Way (Do) of Harmony (Ai) with The Universe/spirit/feeling/”this” (Ki)
Developed through his training in martial arts as well in religion and misticism, Ueshiba Morihei (O´Sensei or great master as an honorific name) believed that aikido is a part of martial arts devoted to bring pezce and harmony to the world, through our own very hearts.
Selfless, relentless, honest practice should bring about in us its profound spirit.
There are many different schools of aikido. The author of this blog follows Yoshigasaki´s Ki Society Internacionale.
He believes there are not only one way. Many are good, many are different. You just need to find your own.
Let´s bring about O´Senseis dream about. Let´s fulfill our own realization. And doing so, become a part of a very beautiful, living world.
As Tohei Sensei wrote in one of his books: “Our lifes are born from the Ki of the Universe. Hand in hand we can enkindle the fire in our hearts and pass the flame on to others, so we can lighten the whole world”
Let´s keep this Ai ki Do alive, putting our best efforts towards self-perfection and mutual understanding. Being tolerant with others and honest and dedicated towards the Path
