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 firmly put down.

The "Ki" is always present in things that will bloom someday.

A tree that blooms when it should bloom is the same as a tree that always blooms. Therefore, there is no need to be in a hurry. As long as you look at yourself and keep your roots strong, you will always know when it is time to bloom.

As long as you do not mistake illusion for truth, you will one day see a large flower of illusion bloom on the root of truth.

 今、生きてることだけが真実

ただ一つ明確に言えることは、「今生きている」ということ。

これだけが唯一の真実です。

生きて、呼吸している自分以外は、全て幻想の綾なす世界です。

幻想の世界で得たものー会社の役職、肩書き、財産、地位、名誉などは、棺桶に入った時、何一つ持っていけません。

生きているからこそ、幻想の花を咲かせることができるのです。

自分が生きていることが、すべてなのです。あとは"生"にともなったさまざまな夢なのです。つまり、唯一(自分)が全部(世界)で、全部が唯一なのです。
すなわち"生"そのものです。

夢は、それ自体、独立して存在しません。夢見る人があってはじめて成り立つのです。

咲くべき花(幻想)を大きく咲かせるためには、何よりも根(.自分が生きているという真実)をしっかり下ろしていることが肝心です。

いつか咲くものには、必ず"気"が宿っています。

咲くべき時に咲く木は、いつも咲いているのと同じことです。

だから、少しも焦る必要はありません。

自分を見つめ、根さえしっかりしていれば、咲くべき"時"をあやまたず知ることができます。

幻想を真実と見誤りさえしなければいつの日か真実という根の上に大きな幻想の花が咲くのです。

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

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
