Description
The Spiritual Foundations of AikidoMorihei Ueshiba, who founded Aikido early in this century, intended that his martial art would give form to profound spiritual truth, and lead to a unification of the world's peoples. He saw Aikido not as a fighting method or as a competitive sport but rather as a means of becoming one with the laws of universal order ki, or life energy. Unfortunately, the subtleties of Ueshiba's teachings, veiled in the esoteric terminology of Shinto, can be puzzling
Morihei Ueshiba, who founded Aikido early in this century, intended that his martial art would give form to profound spiritual truth, and lead to a unification of the world's peoples. He saw Aikido not as a fighting method or as a competitive sport but rather as a means of becoming one with the laws of universal order--ki, or life energy. Unfortunately, the subtleties of Ueshiba's teachings, veiled in the esoteric terminology of Shinto, can be puzzling for even the most advanced practitioners. They are not passed down today, and have never been introduced to the West. Gleason, a fifth-degree (Godan) black belt in Aikido, recognizing the importance of the spiritual aspects of the discipline, researched its roots in Shinto, and in this book is able to offer a clear explanation of Ueshiba's teachings. - Unlike the common how-to manuals on basic technique, this is the first book to introduce the underlying spiritual principles of Aikido--the elusive concept of kototama (word souls), expressed as one spirit, four souls, three origins, and eight powers--and how they relate to the forms. - Teaches the student how to use Aikido to accomplish spiritual goals. - Reveals little-known teachings of Shinto and Aikido, relating them to Buddhism, Christianity, and other spiritual teachings.Binding Type: Paperback

I absolutely love these floating shelves.
Color: White, Size: 15.7 inch, Color: White, Size: 15.7 inch
I absolutely love these floating shelves. The design is modern and elegant, perfect for adding both style and organization to a bathroom or any room in the house. They feel very sturdy and well-made, and the white finish looks clean and matches any décor. The metal rails are a great touch and help keep items from falling.
I use them to organize bathroom essentials like wipes, cotton pads, and toilet paper, as well as decorative pieces, and they look amazing. Installation was easy, and once mounted they feel secure and well balanced.
Great quality for the price. I would definitely buy them again and highly recommend them.

Excellent product
Color: Black, Size: 15.7 inch
I loved this set of 3-piece floating shelves. They arrived well packed and with everything necessary to install them. The installation was quite easy and in a short time I already had them on the wall.
The design is modern and fits with any space. I'm using them to decorate with small plants and some accessories, and they look very pretty. In addition, they feel firm and resistant, they do not seem to be of poor quality.
I like that they come in different sizes, which allows you to play with the distribution and give a more decorative touch to the
