Based on the eclectic
Western-Eastern teachings of Nakamura Tempu Sensei, this step-by-step
introduction to Japanese yoga (Shin-shin-toitsu-do)
presents stretching, healing, and meditation exercises designed for mind/body
integration. It is the only book in English to detail the life and teachings of
Mr. Nakamura. In Japanese yoga, which is based on mind and body unification
principles, the ultimate goal is enhanced concentration, calmness, and
willpower for a longer, healthier, and fuller life. Author H. E. Davey Sensei
also shows how Japanese yoga relates to various classical Japanese arts as part
of a tradition of spiritual practice with spiritual and aesthetic roots in India Japan
Developed by Nakamura Tempu Sensei in the early 1900s from Indian Raja yoga, Japanese martial arts and meditation practices, as well as Western medicine and psychotherapy, Japanese yoga offers a new approach to experienced yoga students and a natural methodology that newcomers will find easy to learn. After a brief history of Shin-shin-toitsu-do, H. E. Davey Sensei presents Mr. Nakamura's Four Basic Principles to Unify Mind and Body. These principles relate the meditative experience to the movement of everyday living and thus make it a "dynamic meditation." Each of the Four Basic Principles is illustrated with step-by-step explanations of practical experiments.
Readers are then introduced to different forms of seated and moving meditation, health exercises, and self-healing arts. All these are linked back to the Four Basic Principles and can enhance performance in art, music, business, sports, and other activities. Readers learn to use Japanese yoga techniques throughout the day, without having to sit on the floor or seek out a quiet space.
Included at the end of the book are simple but effective stretching exercises, information about ongoing practice, and a glossary and reference section. Amply illustrated and cogently presented, Japanese Yoga: The Way of Dynamic Meditation belongs on every mind/body/spirit reading list.
Japanese Yoga was
initially published in 2001, and it was the first and only English language
book on the mind and body unification teachings of Nakamura Sensei. It still
is, and Mr. Davey will personally sign your copy of this milestone work. Drop
by www.senninfoundation.com
after June 11 and order Japanese Yoga
for yourself or your friends.
