Re: was on a roll, now I have to rest and watch sun sets ...
Maiko, you do not have to do nothing. Approach aikido holistically. We train and cleanse the muscles and skin though the physical action of Aikido, we train and cleanse the mind through prayer and meditation and we cleanse the internal organs through deep breathing. During my long bouts with Myasthenia Gravis there have been many times when physical activity was not possible but Saotome Sensei always kept me training in other ways. My Aikido journey has lasted over 40 years now and even with two broken lumbar vertebra and one detached from the spine on the left side I will never quite training.
