Aikido is a Japanese art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his mastery of martial arts, shamanism, and philosophy. It means “path of harmonious energy.” In a war-torn global era, the founder’s hope was that it would be “a way to reconcile the world.”
Deepflow is my Aikido-infused synthesis that is about harmonizing with one’s environment. Environment encompasses all intersecting energies in a particular place at a particular moment in time.
Deepflow can be demonstrated on a physical level, but is at its core metaphysical and philosophical.
It is connection over conflict. Flowing rather than fighting. Feeling rather than flighting. Growing rather than blighting.
I hope to be able to share it with all those interested and that it brings others the same hope and peace that it brings me.
Together, we can help reconcile the world. Welcome to the dojo.
