Going straight to the Source.

Never deal with underlings. They get in the way of natural process. And usually, they screw things up with their over zealous wish to be recognized as a person of importance.

This happens as they don't receive proper guidance.

They don't adopt a guru. And when one does not have a guru, arrogance and uncertainty takes over more strongly.

We all deal with this internally but what we do with the outward ones? Ones that comes from external factors.

As yoga we need to observe and trace it back to where it came from, yourself.

As business, protection of our boundaries is necessary. Do not let them ride on the coattail of your hard work. The bigger you become three dimensionally, more honest discrimination is necessary.

It is an ever balance-finding-act which requires strong discrimination. In the end everything is just between you and Atman.

What is Shoshin?

Helloo~

So I was asked what my thoughts are on the meaning of the word
Shoshin" is. The word itself, 初心 is literally translated to "Beginning" and "Heart".

I have heard people ramble on about humility and being humble etc... etc... but I always feel the heart of Shoshin, Beginner, is that spark you feel in your being. That little twinkle of curiosity and the knowing of not-knowing is what makes us feel like beginners. Of course this leads to being humble- understanding with our heart that we are just a beginner is humbling!

Sosai always had that beginners curiosity and zeal to learn and deepened whatever he set his  mind to. Which made him a student forever. And how glorious it that? To be a teacher as well as a student (^^)/.

Vitamin C.


Hello~~!
Sorry for the MIA. 
I wanted to share with you this Vitamin C powder from Camu Camu berry. I swear by this now- it has given my and students energy=! Especially the season now in Japan, we are on the onset of rainy season which really screws with our health. 
I have taken other brands for vitamin C supplements but this is really special. It is a bit pricey but worth every cent and it is organic too. 
It is helping students out who is training for tournament if taken with MSM.
