Do you feel good when you're struggling, worrying, hating someone, feeling afraid, or feeling sad? Of course not—there's no feeling more unpleasant than that. So why let your heart feel such unpleasantness? Let it be filled with joy instead. — Nakamura Tempu

Many people don't understand the principle that if a sufficient amount of the profound and subtle force from our life energy, or "ki,” is channeled, an unhealthy state will immediately return to a healthy one. Their way of thinking is so different that they miss out on living a more meaningful life, and it's quite comical how many people in the world are doing just that. I believe that most of you have probably been like this until now.

Therefore, the first thing a person needs to do is correctly understand that the "power to live" given to human life is not in the physical body, but within the spirit, or "ki." This is the most proper form of self-comprehension. However, because this self-comprehension is vague, a simple sneeze or cough makes people overly sensitive, as they mistakenly believe that life resides in the physical body.

I'm always saying this during my seminars: when the mind is not overly focused on the body, the body is able to fully receive the power to live. However, if the mind is negatively focused on the body, it interferes with the body's ability to receive this power. As a result, the body is unable to fully demonstrate the strength of being the crown of creation.
Therefore, you should try to avoid thinking about your body with a negative mindset. Especially when you're sick, make an effort to forget about the illness.

If you quietly contemplate these words, you'll immediately realize that your health and destiny are determined by where you place your mind—or, to put it more simply, by how you think and feel. There's a world of difference between placing your mind in a positive direction versus a negative one. In philosophy, this is expressed by the phrase, "The thoughts of the mind create your life."

When I first saw this phrase from Yogic philosophy, "the thoughts of the mind create your life," I didn't quite understand it. I wondered, "What does this phrase mean?" As I've told you before, at that time, I didn't have enough knowledge to think about life, so I had no idea what the words meant.

However, as I continued to study life and research my own illness, I came to understand the profound truth I just mentioned. Since that realization, I became so healthy that even I was astonished. Not only did I become healthy, but I've also been fortunate to live an unexpectedly long life.

But when I quietly observe the world today, despite the great progress of material culture, there are so many sick and unfortunate people. The reason for this is that many people live without knowing the truth I just explained—that their state of health is determined by their mindset (whether it's positive or negative) and how this affects their body's ability to receive the power to live. — Nakamura Tempu

About the Sennin Foundation Center

The Sennin Foundation Center for Japanese Cultural Arts has been offering instruction in traditional Japanese arts under experienced, certified teachers since 1981. Established in California by H. E. Davey Sensei, it presents separate training in Japanese systems of yoga, healing arts, martial arts, and fine arts. Ongoing classes are available to people of all ages and levels of health, including classes for children ages five and up. Members of the Sennin Foundation Center have access to the rich traditions of Japan's cultural arts through practice in the group's classical dojo (literally, "training hall of the Way"). Much more than simply a school or studio, an authentic dojo is a gateway into the timeless realm of Asian art and personal development, allowing members of the Sennin Foundation Center to realize vibrant well-being and longevity. In fact, the word "Sennin" describes the ancient Japanese equivalent of a yogi. The Sennin were known for enlightenment, splendid health, and according to some ancient myths, their ability to attain immortality. This same emphasis on spiritual realization and wellness is stressed by the Sennin Foundation. Drop by our website: www.senninfoundation.com. Contact us at 510-526-7518 or hedavey@aol.com.
