Re: sceptic on the spiritual side of aikido
Might be a placebo thing but I'm finding a lot of the "tricks" (For lack of a MUCH better word, maybe concepts or ideas are more appropiate) I've learned and read about in Aikido are really helping me deal with stress, other people and some very crappy situations.
Aikido takes a lot of flak i've found because to moany people it is/can be about a lot more than just learning how to fight (defend yourself). People hear that and automatically ridicule it. If I would have heard the same a few years ago I would have called BS, now not so much.
Whether this stuff really works or it's just in my head, I'm enjoying the results.
If your skeptical about it no one is going to be able to prove it to you, it's up to you to choose to believe it or not.
