Is spirit open to interpretation? I believe spirit is spirit and that it may be open to idiosyncratic semantic labeling, but it still remain spirit.
I do believe that in Aikido where ever the head goes the body follows. A good saying literally and metaphorically. If we just focus on the technical proficiency of the waza we will develop physically. If we focus on the enter and blend we will develop more harmoniously. If we focus on our intent and purpoe for training we develop more mentally and perhaps psychologically. I think we need to process this sequentially before we get to using Aikido to develop spiritually. And if we never focus on those aspects and principles that apply to all interactions, we can easily miss their development.
Until again,
Lynn
