In Aikido training, Sado tea ceremony lessons and also Noh lessons, my teachers often remind me of the importance of 呼吸 (kokyu), breathing. It is in the basics of training in all three.
What is usually an involuntary act can create great differences in performance when put into focus.
When the breathing is deep, the performance becomes more balanced and stable.
On the other hand, when we are in a stressed state, in a panic or in an emergency, our sympathetic system comes into action and the breathing becomes shallow.
Breathing means existing
Breathing shows our state of mind
Breathing changes performance
Breathing reflects how we face our everyday life.
