Many people know of Aikido, the Japanese martial art that has
no techniques for attacking one’s opponent. Not many however
know that the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, intended for
Aikido to be primarily a path of personal transformation, and
anger is usually one of the first emotions to be faced along
the way. When you practice the principles of mind-body coordination,
you face your anger and use it to fuel the intensity of your
desire to change and be more at peace in the world.
Come to our workshop and:
-
Experience how the circular, flowing movements
of Aikido, encourage you to use the wisdom of your body in
order to lessen your anger and increase the energy of your
life force.
-
Become aware of and learn to gently follow
the circle of your emotions, that anger is only one small
part of. Amplify your emotional experience and feel complete
and relieved in the process.
-
Discover how to turn anger into compassion
and empathy.
-
Learn how to release the holding patterns
of anger that reside in your body. When you let go of anger
you open yourself up to feeling love and acceptance.
-
Discover that being open and receptive in
the face of your counterpart's anger is the best possible
way to defend yourself.
-
With a proven set of Seishindo Practices,
learn to utilize the energy your anger generates in you. The
more consuming or seemingly overwhelming your anger, the more
it can help you return to a calm center within yourself.
-
Take the time to gently explore your feelings
and you will find that your emotional well-being resides deep
inside yourself, waiting to be touched and acknowledged.
Who will benefit
This workshop is meant for all who find themselves expressing
anger in a negative fashion. Supervisors, educators, youth,
