5.0 out of 5 stars A universal message of spirituality and practical wisdom., 24 Jul 1998
By A Customer
C. M. Shifflett presents her subject on several levels. There is an intriguing look at the philosophy and power of Ki, a window into the world of Morihei Ueshiba's "Noble Warrior," a practical and joyfully creative presentation of Ki exercises, and a well-written guide to several forms of meditation. It seems to me that most books on martial arts are more or less esoteric, (i.e. understood by a "select few"). I found the messages contained in this book to be universal in scope and practical for areas far beyond the practice of Aikido - much more a philosophy of living. In fact, when I first read the book, I had not yet seen Aikido. I was so intrigued that I searched out a local Dojo. Incidently, check out the art work. My mother-in-law knows nothing about Aikido, and yet she was fascinated with the people in the pictures, who seem more real than photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent primer on ki for laymen and aikidoka alike, 5 Oct 1998
By A Customer
As an on-again, off-again shin shin toitsu aikido practictioner since 1974, I would say that this primer contains easily 90% of all of the ki exercises I recall going over in all of my aikido classes. I've used the book with non-aikido folks and have had excellent results with it. It is written in an easygoing, non-threatening and clear style that non-initiates find useful and entertaining as well as educational. This book definitely belongs on any aikido practictioner's bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Direct information for beginner and advanced students, 15 April 1999
By A Customer
I have been in the martial arts for over 43 years, and own and operate the Hombu martial arts Education Center in Lafayette, Indiana.I instruct the art of Aikido,and find this book of value for intructional information, assisting all instructors a guide, and a path to keep on track. It gives all readers an overall picture of how KI training is taught, and what is involved. The drawings are very good, and I feel a dedicatied student can get much value from such text. It is good of her to share her knowledge and experience. Keep up the good work.

Respectfully,

Dr. Thomas H.Burdine\PhD\M.A. Head of family Kokon Ryu Aikido, Bujutsu, Renmei
