Synopsis
This work presents a New Age stress-reduction strategy - Aiki. Based on Aikido, a Japanese martial art and mind-body discipline, the programme aids in relieving stress with a set of simple techniques. They include meditation, breathing exercises, and a focus on play, providing an antidote to the intense personal and professional pressures of modern life. From overcoming apathy to understanding how conflict can be an opportunity for choice and change, Aiki can turn mind-body integration into powerful tools for enhancing performance in conflict resolution, stress-management and team building.

Customer Reviews

An Excellent Book!
This book uses the principles of the Japanese martial art, Aikido, to positivley harmonise conflict at home, work or anywhere. There is no attack in aikido and if done correctly your attacker is not harmed by your technique. All in all it is a very gentle and intelligent explanation of how we can all live and co-exist even with the most difficult of people.

I would say this book is unique in that the starting point is to change ourselves and not the attacker.

Instead of avoiding difficult people, I now hope they make themselves available to me so that I can have another chance to put into practice the special information imparted by Thomas.

How we perceive verbal attacks and cope with them is very important and you will not be left disapointed by the effectivness of this approach. It is practical and it really works. I feel I am duty bound to tell everyone I meet about this very special fountain of knowledge.

It is a very large book in size and page number and there is much to discover about Ki, meditation, energy of an attack, blending with an attacker and winning ethically so all concerned are properly considered.

I am 100% happy with this book and I think you will be too!
