"Will make many yogis feel right at home... Davey's readable,
friendly guide is definitely worth a look." - Yoga Journal Based on
the eclectic Western-Eastern teachings of Nakamura Tempu Sensei,
this step-by-step introduction to Japanese yoga
(Shin-shin-toitsu-do) presents stretching, healing, and meditation
exercises designed for mind/body integration. It is the first book
in English to detail the life and teachings of Mr. Nakamura. In
Japanese yoga, which is based on mind and body unification
principles, the ultimate goal is enhanced concentration, calmness,
and willpower for a longer, healthier, and fuller life. H. E. Davey
Sensei also shows how Japanese yoga relates to various classical
Japanese arts as part of a tradition of spiritual practice with
spiritual and aesthetic roots in India, Japan, and the West.
Developed by Nakamura Tempu Sensei in the early 1900s from Indian
Raja yoga, Japanese martial arts and meditation practices, as well
as Western medicine and psychotherapy, Japanese yoga offers a new
approach to experienced yoga students and a natural methodology
that newcomers will find easy to learn. After a brief history of
Shin-shin-toitsu-do, H. E. Davey Sensei presents Mr. Nakamura's
Four Basic Principles to Unify Mind and Body. These principles
relate the meditative experience to the movement of everyday living
and thus make it a "dynamic meditation." Each of the Four Basic
Principles is illustrated with step-by-step explanations of
practical experiments. Readers are then introduced to different
forms of seated and moving meditation, health exercises, and
self-healing arts. All these are linked back to the Four Basic
Principles and can enhance performance in art, music, business,
sports, and other activities. Readers learn to use Japanese yoga
techniques throughout the day, without having to sit on the floor
or seek out a quiet space. Included at the end of the book are
simple but effective stretching exercises, information about
ongoing practice, and a glossary and reference section. Amply
illustrated and cogently presented, "Japanese Yoga: The Way of
Dynamic Meditation" belongs on every mind/body/spirit reading list.
