The Nishino Breathing Method OFFICIAL

The Open・Close Principle is a rule that guides the body efficiently to Chuyu or its ideal state, in the Nishino Method - Deep Breathing Exercises.  This is easy to understand if you imagine how animals use their bodies when they catch prey. For example, " c lose" is a state in which the body curls up for a moment to store energy just before attacking prey, while "o pen" is a state of releasing stored energy when attacking prey. As another exmple, "close" is a state in which the fetus is relaxing and storing energy in the mother's womb.You close your body while breathing in slowly and capturing yourself. In the meanwhile, you open your body while breathing out slowly and capturing the connection between yourself and your surroundings. When you open your body, spread the energy taken in by the state of Close throughout the body. Then the energy is naturally taken into your body. Now, let's practice Senyo, the exercise in which you can easily un

Daily Nishino Breathing -  Jusoku Methods Part 5 Tagen Jusoku: Multipule-element Energy Filling Tagen refers to all the cells in the body. Tagen Jusoku is a method that fills all cells with energy and capture the self. When one is able to perceive oneself, one is able to perceive one's surroundings correctly. When you practice Tagen Jusoku, your body becomes balanced and free, and you can feel that most of your body is liquid. Then, the whole body become Tanden, and  energy flows out of the body, allowing the body to use its energy. Now, let's practice Tagen Jusoku! We will begin with Yongen Jusoku, Four-element Energy Filling, then proceed to Tagen Jusoku. And then we practice Junyo. Stand shoulder-width apart, parallel, and relax your knees. Fill the four locations of both hands and feet with energy. To the state of Yongen Jusoku With a long, thin breaths out through the mouth, fill the four locations with energy. Spread the energy of the four en

Yon gen- jūsoku 四 元充足  (four-element energy filling exercise) Yongen refers to the hands and feet. Through this Jusoku method you fill these four elements (locations) with energy and capture the connection between the inside and outside of the body. The hands are said to be the second brain and the feet the second heart, and when the four elements are filled, the blood circulation improves, and the mind becomes clearer. In addition, because the four elements are at the ends of the body, far from the heart, and have a strong connection to the outside of the body, attachment to the inside of the body is eliminated. Then you will be able to feel that the inside of your body is "empty," and you will be able to perceive the connection between the inside and the outside of your body with the four locations. "Emptiness" in this case refers to the state of being able to fill and channel unlimited energy. Now, let us actually perform Yougen Jusoku.  The Basic

Sangen- jūsoku  三元充足  (three-element filling exercise) The third part of the Jūsoku Methods is the three-element filling exercise. Sangen refers to the Tanden and the both hands, and is the most basic of all the Jūsoku Methods. When starting Sangen-jūsoku, as in the case of, Ichigen- jūsoku, think of the Tanden as a kind of "magma," the great energy within the earth. It is said that the hands are “the second brain”, and when the hands are filled with energy to the fullest extent, you feel a clarity of mind and it is easier to grasp the whole picture of things. When these three elements are fulfilled, you will be able to feel the unlimited energy spreading out from the main energy source of the body. When you fill the three elements with ki-energy, first try to fill them from both hands rather than from the Tanden. This will naturally make it easier to become aware of the Tanden. How to practice Sangen-jūsoku First, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and p

Nigen- jūsoku 二元充足 (two element filling exercise)   Nigen-jūsoku, like Ichigen-jūsoku, may be practiced standing or sitting on the kneels. Nigen refers to the Tanden and Hyaku-e (top of the head).  First, after having fully performed Ichigen-jūsoku, hold the palm of one hand over the top of the head while keeping the mind focused on the Tanden. At this point, relax your arms and shoulders, and be careful not to arch your back. The hand is a highly sophisticated sensor. They capture every event with a density that far exceeds the sense of touch. They are the very ends of the body, and energy flows in and out from them naturally. The pressure of the atmosphere and the energy of the sky, which is subtly transmitted through the hands, is caught at the top of the head, enriching the two elements (the Tanden and Hyaku-e). The key point is how to smoothly pass the energy from the Hyaku-e. First, you should practice how to relax the top of the head intentionally. When the whole body is

Daily Nishino Exercise (4 min.) Program: Jūsoku Methods Part 1 : Ichigen- jūsoku, Muhen and Henyo Jūsoku Methods 　充足法 Ki filling exercises which sharpen the sensory capabilities of the body “ Jūsoku" means to be satiated with full of energy. You take a certain part of the body and fill it with life energy. You will be able to feel the higher state of the body that is cultivated in the Nishino Method. The life energy cultivated by the breathing fills the body to overflowing, and creates a relaxed Chūyū ( 宙遊： being suspended in the universe), the ideal physical condition, naturally.  Gen  元 In the Nishino Method, the words “concentration” or “point” are avoided. Instead, “filling”( 充足 ) and “element” （元）  are used. Element here contains the meaning, origin and beginning. That is, it is both “the part itself” and “the origin”. To draw awareness to a part of the body means to realize that the part is a component of the whole body, and furthermore, it is an element of the universe. The
