"Mu-shin"

In order to bring luck into our life, we need to be in a state of “Mu-shin (innocence)”, or to be selflessness.

Mushin is a state of ease and contentment that conforms to the laws of nature.

When we cultivate a state of Mu-shin at the cellular level, we are able to enjoy whatever we do, and we are excited about our endeavors.

It is said that genius is the talent to work hard, and this talent to work hard means the ability to work hard in an exciting and enjoyable way.

It is often said that "what one likes, one will do well".  This is well said.

In general, hard work is not as effective as one might think.

However, people think with their brains and try their best to "make an effort," but there is a limit to this.

When they realize that their efforts are spinning out of control and that no results are forthcoming, they simply become exhausted and lament their fate, saying, "There is no God or Buddha. But such attitude leads to a decline in their life energy.

Mu-shin is the best state of mind and body that invites luck.

Needless to say, the key to creating a state of Mu-shin is to take life energy into the body.

Nishino, Kozo. 身体知の誕生 七つの法則（The Birth of Physical Intelligence - Seven Rules）.” Shogakkan, 1997, pp214

(Original Japanese)


運を呼び寄せるには、「無心」の状態が必要なのです。

無心とは、無理のない、自然の摂理に則った、やすらかな安楽の状態のことだといえます。

無心な身体を細胞レベルで培うと、なにをおこなっても楽しいという状態になるので、ワクワクしながら努力することができます。

天才とは、努力する才能だといわれていますが、その努力する才能とは、ワクワクと楽しく努力できる能力のことをいうのです。

よく「好きこそ物の上手なれ」といいますが、これは言いえて妙な言葉です。

一般で思うような苦しい努力は、効果があがりません。

ところが、人々は頭脳で考えて、「努力をしなければ」とネジリハチ巻きで頑張りますが、これには限界があります。

気がついたら努力が空回りし、成果があらわれず、ただ疲れ果てて、「神も仏もいない」と運命をなげいたりします。これでは生命エネルギーが低下してしまいます。

無心こそが運をも呼び寄せる、最良の心身の状態なのです。

そして無心な状態を作るには、生命エネルギーを身体中にとり入れることが鍵になるのは、言うまでもありません。

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
