Ki a word meaning spirit or vital energy - is a familiar, if vague concept to anyone interested in Oriental philosophy or medicine, the martial arts, and Japanese culture. This book defines Ki in plain English, ands shows how to demonstrate and develop Ki as a practical force in everyday living. Part I gives the reader a practical grasp of the fundamentals of Ki development, through exercises, meditation and breathing methods. Part II illustrates in detail how Ki is developed in the training and practice of the traditional Japanese arts: brush calligraphy, the martial art of Aikido, Kiatsu massage therapy, the strategic game of Go, Noh drama, and the tea ceremony. Part III presents a Ki perspective on aspects of daily life highly relevant to modern readers: self-defense and personal safety, using Ki to overcome personal limitations and increase professional effectiveness.
