Its all the same Paul Linden cover

It’s all the same – except for the differences

For 51 years of practicing and teaching aikido, I have used the martial art as a laboratory to study human responses to challenges or threats. We tense in fear, get tight in anger, or reduce our awareness in resignation. These states of separation and alienation lead to personal, social, international, and ecological violence. The development and use of a mindbody state of calm alertness and compassionate power offers a foundation for the work of rebuilding and reshaping our civilization to make it just and sustainable. Surprisingly, the same body awareness methods apply equally well to the small challenges of daily life – such as correct sitting at the computer, trauma recovery, better golfing, or getting along with your neighbors. This is not just philosophy. Through the exercises detailed in this book, you will experience that it is a concrete, attainable and eminently practical process. Not only that, but it's fun!

Embodied Peacemaking

Though peacemaking is usually thought of as a psychological, spiritual or political process, these materials approach it as a process of body education. Over the years, I have developed a large number of exercises, but at the same time I have been working towards briefer and simpler ways of teaching the material. Reach Out was my first attempt at this, and in the free handout, I have managed to boil it down to just 8 pages. Although the focus is on peacemaking, the same fundamental body awareness exercises provide a foundation for excellence in any of life's activities.
