The Secret Teachings Of Aikido Hardcover – Illustrated, 26 Oct. 2012

This is a very spiritual book, talking about the way of life of the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, and how he believed things in the world work. Beginners of the spiritual world can find this book more challenging, a leap of faith if you haven't experienced anything to reassure yourself with, but even then I'd say it's a worthy read for you.The book goes along with what I've learned from other spiritual sources like Cayce's work and astrology, and my little experiences with spirituality. The breathing of heaven and earth, and how we're a cosmos in ourselves, like string theory implies.If you practise aikido, tai chi, self-development, seek a better way of life, want to be happier, you should read this book. Open up, be sincere, and read up. Along with the book "Art of Peace", this is very useful, and has tools for you to make a better life.

Probably the only book you need to compliment physical Aikido training with its spiritual philosophy.

As a novice beginner to Aikido, I wanted to find out more about the style and its creator.This book explains so much about Sensei Morihei Ueshiba and his way of life! Great book to read .
