October 13, 2015 087 - Mindful Communication: Aiki - The Art of Blending
Another martial art method I’d like to discuss today is known as Aiki - blending with your opponent. Sometimes it is described as being like water. You are being the water, flowing with your opponent.
This is not becoming like your opponent. This is being flexible. Look at the water. You can pour it into the cup, and it becomes cup. But it is still water. It just changed the shape.

October 12, 2015 086 - Mindful Communication: Best action - Do nothing
Have you ever had somebody throw at you some totally bizarre accusations that just don’t make any sense? I’ve experienced that before. In this case the best tactics in my opinion is to do nothing.

October 09, 2015 085 - Mindful Communication: Time to Withdraw
We’ll talk about another martial art tactic move, which is withdrawal. Unfortunately it is misunderstood quite often. In the western culture, running away is not a good thing. This is not what big boys do, is it?

What I am talking about today is not running away from the conflict. It is exercising your right to exit the battle.

October 08, 2015 084 - Mindful Communication: Reasons to fight back in a conflict
Fighting back is the last alternative when nothing else works, when this is literally a question of life and death, or perhaps a question of some serious health issues, and there are no other winning options.
And please, don’t just go with the first reaction. Think, count till 10.

October 07, 2015 083 - Daily Mindfulness and Martial Arts Principles of Communication
Martial arts are about developing inner balance. Yes, there’s interaction with a partner that some people perceive as fighting. However I’ve been observing every day conversations - at the store, or at the office, or just between neighbors - that have much more violence then any of the martial arts I’ve seen.

October 06, 2015 082 - Mindful Self-Talk: Be careful what you ask yourself!
Our brain is a very complex computer. It is a controlling device of a very complicated machine which is our body. Our brain has no moral judgement or common sense. Our mind does, but not the brain. So, if we ask ourselves “Why I am feeling tired?”, trust me, our brain will come up with a very elaborate and logic explanation.

October 05, 2015 081 - The Path of Learning: Single Mindedness vs Jack of all trades
I’ve been practicing Yoga, Martial arts, Tao Yin, Qigong, Taoist and Zen practices and many other things. Not that I am practicing every discipline one hour a day. There will be not enough hours in a week to study everything. But all this knowledge helps me to develop a better picture and understand how one philosophy relates to another.

October 02, 2015 080 - The best talk of our life, or what’s wrong with this picture?
Why don’t we just love each other? Why don’t we say some good words of appreciation now? Don’t wait for the right moment, because the right moment may be one day too late. Think about that.

October 01, 2015 079 - Physical training: The best fitness system in the World
So, what’s the best fitness system in the world? That’s easy to answer: the best system is the one aligned with your goals and your personality type. Ultimately, that’s the one you will stick with. If you don’t know, get yourself a coach. I can recommend a couple if you need.

September 30, 2015 078 - About teachers and students: Who is who?
Here’s my point: we all walk our Path. Our Path may cross somebody else’s Path. They may interlace or go together for a while until they part. We learn what we can and we share what we know. This is life.
