Seishindo Mindfulness Practices – to try for yourself



Life moves fast.
If you’re not mindful, you’ll find this rapid pace creates stress, frustration, sadness in your relationships, chronic pain, and dis-ease.


Seishindo Mindfulness Practices are designed to…

Help you slow down, recover your sense of connection to life, and feel rejuvenated.

Seishindo Mindfulness Practices are an opportunity to experience your life from a heartfelt perspective.

Seishindo Mindfulness Practices are gentle activities to help you become more aware, perceptive, and attuned to your experience in this moment.

Seishindo Mindfulness Practices are based on years of studying disciplines such as Aikido, Noguchi Sei Tai, Tai Chi, Yoga, hypnosis and self-hypnosis, Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, and various meditation and breathing practices.

When your in-the-moment experience of life is your teacher, you’ll find yourself better able to adjust your body, your lifestyle, and your emotional state – and reduce stress, pain, and dis-ease in your system.

If you haven’t already done so, I suggest signing up for our Blog, In the Seishindo Blog, myself and others write about various principles relevant to the Seishindo experience. The material in our Blog is separate and distinct from our newsletter.  Go here to have a look at the Blog page. If you see what you like, go ahead and subscribe to our Blog feed.

    Charlie,

    This section is a treasure chest! What I do is open it from time to time and pull a gem out to ” try on and wear” for awhile.It is not necessary to practice any of them daily but good to refresh our minds, bodies and spirits from time to time and then reap the benefits! Thank you for this amazing set of practices and for sharing your years of study and experience with all of us!!!

    The Practices are made to be “grown into” like a piece of clothing you buy for a young child.
    It is so crucial to have multiple ways to exit our every day mind and find a peace that is only present when we unplug.
