How modern physics confirms the energetic power Aikido • Draws on quantum mechanics and physics, like wave–particle duality and the unified field theory, to define the energetics of Aikido • Explores concepts of Aikido such as musubi (to tie together), connection, and reconciliation to re-link the individual with the universal • Provides lessons for everyday life to enhance personal and professional relationships and diffuse threatening situations Aikido is a martial art that offers a philosophy of harmonizing energy. The techniques of Aikido focus on aligning oneself with the world in total harmony and this begins by winning over the discord in our own minds. Richard applies the insights of quantum mechanics to explore key concepts of Aikido such as musubi (to tie together), connection, unification, and reconciliation to re-link the individual with the universal. As quantum physics and Aikido reveal, the dualism of two conflicting opposites is an illusion. It is the unified field of the two that creates life and from which reality emanates. The essential teaching of Quantum Aikido is to live as an expression of the single source of yin and yang rather than in polarity, or bouncing between the two. Embodying this teaching transforms one’s experience of life from being a struggle to a dance. These lessons can be applied in everyday life to enhance personal and professional relationships and diffuse threatening situations. The author’s creative, flow-oriented approach shows how to negotiate challenges by absorbing and using the energy of any given situation to create innovative solutions. This state of being exercises whole-brain thinking and self-reflexivity to help readers develop the measured temperament of a warrior. Readers will learn how to tap energetic sources so that each moment is an opportunity to resolve problems with spontaneous creativity. Learn to become spontaneous and free with the energetics of Quantum Aikido . By offering ways to unify our being and live in acceptance and harmony, this book opens doorways to transformation and positive change.
