The Secrets of Ki

Kozo Nishino

Ki" is life energy itself.

Energy is trivialized when we try to understand it in terms of ideas.

It cannot be grasped without mobilizing all the senses of the body.

By capturing Ki through sensitivity, and by being filled with Ki, our senses become richer, and a more wonderful world opens up.

The joy of being alive now encompasses the joy of "what will happen tomorrow?

When we are fixed, we stagnate.

Change" creates "joyful moments," and "joyful moments" create "eternity.

Eternity" is the middle of enjoyment.

There is no goal in the world of Ki. It is always in progress.

It is always in progress, but at the same time, it is always joyful and fulfilling.

The only truth for human beings is that they are alive at this very moment.

And the fact that we are alive at this moment is already "in the past" the next moment.

We must let go of our obsession to the past and continue to grasp the truth of the ever-changing moment to moment.

This is the secrets of Ki.


Original excerpts in Japanese

気の奥義

 

西野皓三

”気”とは生命エネルギーそのものです。

エネルギーというのは観念で理解しようとすると矮小化されてしまいます。

身体全ての感性を総動員してとらえなければ掴めません。

感性によって”気”を捉え、”気”が満ち溢れることによって、さらに感性が豊かになり、より素晴らしい境地が広がります。

今生きていることの楽しさが、「明日、何が起きるか」の楽しみを包摂しているのです。

固定していると、よどみます。

”変化”が、”楽しい瞬間”を作り、”楽しい瞬間”が、”永遠”を生むのです。

”永遠”とは、楽しさの途中のことです。

 ”気”の世界にゴールはありません。いつも途中です。

いつも途中であるけれど、同時に、いつでも楽しく満ち足りて、充足していられるのです。

「今、この瞬間に自分が生きているということ」だけが、人間にとって、たったひとつの真実です。

そして、「今、生きている」という事実は、次の瞬間にはもう”過去”になってしまいます。

過去という止まった時間への執着を捨て、変転し続ける瞬間、瞬間の真実をつねに捉え続けること。

それが”気”の奥義なのです。

Daily Nishino Breathing (7min) Open/Close Principle, Senyo, Yushin, and Basic Sokushin Breathing

イメージ
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...

Messages from Master Kozo Nishino (4) The only truth is that we are alive right now

  From Headquarters #5 - Messages from Master Kozo Nishino (4)   The only truth is that we are alive right now Kozo Nishino The only thing that is clear is that we are alive now. This is the only truth. Everything else is a world of illusions, except for the truth that you are alive and breathe.  When you go into the coffin, you cannot take with you any of the things you have acquired in the world of illusion - your position in the company, your title, your property, your status, your honor, and so on. It is only because you are alive that you can make your illusions bloom. Your life is all that matters. The rest is the various dreams that accompany "life. In other words, the One (self) is everything (the world), and everything is the One. In other words, "life" itself. Dreams do not exist independently of themselves. It is only possible when there is a dreamer. In order for the flower (illusion) to bloom, the root (the truth that you are alive) must be...
