Art Of Living Calmness

The Art Of Living Calmness

 

Like the eye of a typhoon

which is always peaceful

Inner calm results in great strength of action.

Ki Saying by Koichi Tohei

Founder of Ki Society H.Q.

They say, calmness is power.

We, who have experienced it say,

“Living Calmness” is Power! Dynamic! Life changing!

 

Living calmness is available to everyone.

It is our original and natural state.  We are endowed with the gift of living calmness.

It is a state of being filled with hope, passion and infinite possibilities.

With that gift comes responsibility to learn it……

to nurture it…….

to live it………

to share it.

 

I would be remiss and irresponsible

if I didn’t address the other side of the coin – Dead Calmness.

Dead calmness is powerless, lifeless, immobile.

It’s like a ship that sits dead in the water.

Ship, crew and passengers are at the mercy of the elements. the wind …..the rain ….. the seas.

Their fate is controlled by situations and circumstances outside of themselves.

 

Dead calmness is driven by fear….  Fear that is learned and nurtured.

Dead calmness leads to a life of “quiet desperation”.

 

Living calmness and dead calmness are both possible. It is all a matter of choice.

Here are a few real life practical examples of the choices we sometimes make and

the differences between dead calmness and living calmness.

Dead calmness                                                    Living calmness

I’ll do it tomorrow                                               I’ll do it now

Blames others                                                      Takes responsibility

Gives up often                                                     Perseveres

Talks the talk                                                        Walks the talk

Plays it safe                                                           Takes risks

Stops learning                                                      Growth is paramount

 

Eleanor Roosevelt said, “One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes.  In the long run, we shape our life and we shape ourselves.  The process never ends until we die.  And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.”

 

It is my hope that you choose living calmness.  It is only a decision away.

For over fifty years now I have been a student of Master Koichi Tohei. A founding member of Lokahi Ki Society, I now serve as Senior Advisor and currently hold the rank of 6th Dan Black Belt in Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido. For over five decades, throughout the USA, I have dedicated myself to creating programs for people to experience the spiritual power they naturally have through the unification of Mind and Body. On a personal note, I am married, and I’ve been blessed with 5 children, 14 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren. I’ve also been blessed with a successful business career. For 23 of those years I sang and entertained with the famous musical group, “The Surfers.” I hope to support you in putting the power you naturally possess into action so you may experience an expansion of harmony, joy, and Love in your daily life, to give you an opportunity to create a better world and contribute to the lives of others.

Risk You Must…

The Power Of Choice…

 

On the road to success, the road less travelled, there are potholes, small ones — big ones — humongous ones!  You have no control over the potholes being there. You did not put them there, and, you can count on them being there. So, chances are that you will hit one of them.  That’s the risk — and risk you must.  Why? cause there’s a purpose to potholes. . . to refine you — not to ruin you.  To test your faith, your courage, your integrity.  So risk you must.  That’s the choice you must make.  Otherwise those potholes will ruin you.

 

Not “stupid” risks — calculated risks.  For example:  you’re on the top floor of a 30 story high-rise and need to get to the ground floor.  You have three choices: elevator, stairs, or jump.  Two are calculated risks.  One is the “stupid” risk.  And to get where you want to go — risk you must.

 

So it is with life and self mastery.  Every time you risk, fall, and chose to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, learn from your failures and move forward, you will discover that you are more than you thought you were, that you can do more than you thought you could do, and you can have more of what life has to offer than you ever thought possible.  So Risk You Must!
