Frans and Bronwen Stiene continue their interview with the eloquent author H.E. Davey - founder and Director of the Sennin Foundation, a Center for Japanese Cultural Arts in California.
H.E. Davey presently is the highest ranking American in the Kokusai Budoin's Nihon Jujutsu and Kobudo Divisions. He has received the traditional rank/title of Kyoshi from the Kokusai Budoin, a worldwide martial arts federation that is sponsored by Japan's Imperial Family.
Mr. Davey is also on the Board of Directors of the elite Shudokan Martial Arts Association. This exclusive board is comprised solely of martial arts experts from various disciplines. Each board member must have at least twenty years of martial arts experience and a minimum rank of sixth-degree black belt (or a classical equivalent).
Moreover, Mr Davey has received extensive instruction in Shin-Shin-Toitsu-Do, a unique form of Japanese yoga founded by Nakamura Tempu Sensei in 1919. He has practiced directly under three of Nakamura Sensei's senior disciples and is currently the sole American member of the Tempu Society, an organization founded by the late Nakamura Tempu Sensei.
Mr. Davey has also received comprehensive instruction in Nakamura Sensei's methods of healing with Ki and bodywork, which he teaches as well. Mr Davey's emphasis is on yuki, or the "transference of Ki," as a way of aiding recovery from illness or injury.
In this interview he continues to answer indepth questions about Japanese Arts and Ways, helping listeners to gain a better understanding of their own Reiki practice from a Japanese perspective.
In Part II he talks in detail about:
Directly experiencing the hara
Benefits of working with the hara
Mind and Body unification
Working with Ki from a Japanese perspective
Common influences on Japanese Ways such as religion, and artistic and spiritual principles
The idea of Mu (void) and how it relates to Japanese art forms
