Samurai Secrets for Calm Breathing and Agile Footwork

It isn't often that we focus on our breathing or our footwork, yet these are not only essential to our survival, but also have an impact on the quality of our life, our thinking, and our actions. Perhaps this is why Entrepreneurs are increasingly turning to practical Asian wisdom not to escape from, but to engage fully in their personal and professional life.
 

The Samurai recognized that the mind and body are intimately connected, and that you function at your best when they are integrated. They recognized that the way to Mastery was through Calm Breathing and a Non-Abiding Mind. For this they sought practical wisdom from Zen, and applied it their disciplines. While people have the image of Samurai as Warriors, they strove to cultivate a State of Mastery based on a Calm Mind and Agile Footwork. 

While this proved essential in battle, it was also the foundation of their peacetime activities, in which they cultivated themselves through the Zen Arts of Calligraphy, Tea Ceremony, and Noh Drama.

They recognized that many troubles in society were trigged by a people who failed to do this, who allowed hidden pressures to build up, forcing a series of poor judgments, unnecessary clashes, which could trigger panic in an individual, and pandemonium in a group. The secrets of the Samurai could often prevent a crisis, or demonstrate leadership to lead people out of a crisis.

We think that our time and problems are unique, but when you study history you see that people faced a similar crisis in their own time, some which ended badly, and some which produced brilliant solutions to get out of crisis. In Japanese, the word for crisis literally means dangerous opportunity.

We are forced in the current crisis to pivot, and in a short time completely change the way we do business. As exciting as this can be, all the changes can put you in a state of constant distraction and sap your energy. 

• Do you feel that change is being forced on you faster than you can comfortably cope with?
• Are you able to concentrate on something for a while, but not easily shift your mindset for a new task?
• Do you find yourself preoccupied with your business even when you take off-time?
• Do you feel guilty that your business interferes with your ability to dedicate quality attention and time to your family and friends?
• Do you lack an effective routine to pre-set before and re-set after concentrating on a task?

Join Renaissance Samurai William Reed for a one-hour private Session on Samurai Secrets for Calm Breathing and Agile Footwork.

The Ninja and the Samurai developed many practical ways to stay mentally focused and intuitively sharp even in rapidly changing and dangerous situations. Some of these are surprisingly relevant and practical for us today. For anyone wanting to learn this, many people assume that there considerable barriers to entry.

• Language: Learning to speak and read Japanese is out of the question, but you wonder what you might be missing, and who can help you interpret it?
• Time: You don't have time to dedicate years of discipline studying with a Master, but what if it was possible to learn a few practical skills for daily life?
• Accessibility: Even if you could visit Japan deep practical wisdom is not offered to tourists, what if you could be exposed to the real thing from home?
• Guidance: You could get lost or lose focus studying on your own, but what if the experience of an expert bilingual master could take you there quickly? 
• Gender: It seems that Samurai featured in film are mostly men, but what if you could learn the truth that these techniques are independent of gender?

During this one-hour Zoom Session you will learn: 

1. The vital importance of breathing for calmness, relaxation, and good judgment, and how most people get it wrong.
    
2. A technique that the Ninja used to calm their breathing when in danger, which you can practice anytime.
    
3. How agility is not so much an attitude, but a way of integrating mind and body through action.
    
4. A technique used by Miyamoto Musashi for agile footwork against multiple opponents.
    
5. Why Musashi's Book of Five Rings has been a number one bestseller among business books!
