“Preoccupied with a single leaf... you won't see the tree. Preoccupied with a single tree... you'll miss the entire forest. Don't be preoccupied with a single spot. See everything in it's entirety... effortlessly. That is what it means to truly "see.” - Takehiko Inoue
All truly strong people have lost and suffered so long. They aren't nessesarly good. But they are not blind. They understand that fear is not a wise way to rule over others. Those who are truly strong are wise and knows friends are better than enemies. Kind or not this is the path of the truly strong ones
I thought learning Japanese was impossible years ago, felt like I couldn't do it, thought about giving up many times. Now I'm reading Miyamoto Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa in its original language. Never let your mind trick you into taking the lazy way out. Put in the effort to be better and you'll be surprised by what you can accomplish.
Your so amazing man.....i dont think i could ever learn japanese to it's fullest extent....No matter what i will never be able to achieve perfection. I'll never be able to speak like the natives, This is the sad truth ):
@@Fxck-life Our brains are more inclined toward negativity and do every thing to ignore uncertain situations/territory to protect ourselves from dangers, and that's exactly where we've evolved from animals. Cause we can choose. There's a whole other side to the world when we decide, "I can do anything".
Thank you I hope something beautiful happens in your life as well I hope you smile and cry of happiness I hope you find peace and tranquility I hope you lived very happy and be respected and love by the people who come in your path I hope you are treated well
It already did for me. I finally found love and I think that's what I really needed to be truly happy. Stay strong brothers. Find what makes you happiest.
My uncle died about 20 something minutes ago no idea why this showed up in the feed but it's the little random things like this we take for granted. Give people their flowers while they're alive to appreciate it folks...you'll be glad you did later.
A wise man who meditates all day In the mountains while training his sword to flow like water. He has no desires to live for the next day. He lives for the present and protects his family with peace in his heart and mind. He is a samurai one that has accepted death and embraced it. His mind has learnt to flow like water and enter the state of flow. The wise samurai would strike his sword with the flow of life guiding his palm and strike. He knows his time is not infinite but has hopes and a big heart to master the art of flow to pass it on to his descendants long in the future. His heart Is filled with nothing but happiness and joy over the people who has come to learn from his life experiences. They call him... "The master of flowing water"... This song is here to teach you to enter the state of flow... let your heart and mind flow endlessly and let your hand cut through your life with his blade, let his words and teaching flow through the emptiness in your heart and one day... one day you will master his style and carry on the style of " The art of flowing water".
if you're meditating all day.. ninja kicks said wise man... there is much to dooooo! no wonder we short handed over dey next to up yonder dey so... you out here chillin!
What is water to the air and thus, the wind? Water is a slave to the form of its molecular structure and to the form/structure of its "container". Water can only flow where it is directed. Air and Wind can take any and all forms in all directions simultaneously. Water is a slave waiting for us to drink it. The Air and the Wind are the sharpest, tghe most durable and the most flexible all at the same time, while also being able to transform instantly to being blunt or soft, allowing for friend to pass through and enemies to succumb to its will. The Air and Wind can cut through or batter down all of the other elements, even when the other elements become tgoo erratic for their master's to control. The wind can even turn each element against itself, while also being able to pass through itself should it be used against itself.
“Do not fear; this is the path you have chosen. Compared to you, our pain will be over in an instant. Even if our philosophies differ, I am proud of you. You truly are a kind child.”
“there is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.” ― Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings
For those who want to know more about Musashi life and philosophy there is a master piece written by Eiji Yoshikawa. This book has left a lasting impression on me
In the shadow of the ancient mountains, a lone samurai named Kiyoshi followed the teachings of the legendary swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi. He studied diligently, immersing himself in the wisdom contained within the pages of the "Book of Five Rings." Kiyoshi sought to become one with the natural world, as Musashi had done before him. Each day, Kiyoshi trained tirelessly, perfecting his swordsmanship and practicing the principles Musashi preached. He learned to harmonize his mind, body, and spirit to achieve the ultimate state of being - the flow state. One fateful day, a wandering ronin challenged Kiyoshi to a duel, seeking to test the young samurai's skills. Kiyoshi accepted the challenge, knowing it would be an opportunity to apply Musashi's teachings in the heat of battle. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow upon the battlefield, Kiyoshi's senses sharpened. He focused on the ronin's movements, every breath, every twitch of a muscle. Kiyoshi's mind, body, and spirit coalesced, allowing him to achieve the coveted flow state. In an instant, he saw the opening he needed and struck with the precision of a master. With a single, fluid motion, Kiyoshi disarmed his opponent, leaving the ronin humbled and awestruck. The defeated warrior bowed in reverence, recognizing the power of the teachings Kiyoshi had embraced. The young samurai offered his hand to the ronin, inviting him to join his journey of enlightenment and mastery. Together, they ventured deeper into the mountains, continuing their quest to embody the wisdom of Miyamoto Musashi. Each day, they trained and meditated, honing their skills, refining their minds, and embracing the ever-elusive flow state. Through their dedication and unwavering focus, the legacy of Musashi lived on, forever inspiring those who walked the path of the warrior.
An old silent pond... A frog jumps into the pond, splash! Silence again. This poem is a beautiful expression of the stillness of nature and the sudden disruption caused by the frog's leap into the pond. It is a reminder that even the smallest actions can have a big impact and that we should appreciate the quiet moments in life.
Depression, sadness, Anger are just emotions running through the flow of thoughts, once you learn to meditate the very beginning, you learn to go behind that Waterfall of thought of yours, you learn to truly be yourself. And therefore, allow you to be in the present, you are not just an entity living in this world, you are the world. I truly believe that we all are connected through our shared singularity. I feel gratitude to be alive, and i wish nothing but peace around me.
tell me about vagabond, i shall watch it when this chapter of my life comes to its end since it helped you battle your depression i assume it could be useful for me as well
@@_AntaraChowdhury vagabond is a manga that you can read online or buy it if you want, is about a ronin named shinmen takezo(miyamoto musashi) fighting his inner demons, him himself is called a demon in the manga, reading it is like dancing with life for me he helped me fight my inner demon too, musashi is like a bigger brother to me, everyone whit personal problems should read it.
This high key makes me want to abandon society, live on the highest mountain top and train myself to my full ability, train with the goal of peaceful strength and make peace with myself and god
The sharpest sword is always the word of truth. It may hurt you, but if master, it can heal you and others. If you weild it wisely, it sets you and others free from pain. Offers life, not death.
Peace is divine, like the wind that brushes the wings of the golden eagle as is it soars high above the mountain peek. Peace is Divine, like the very moment a whale re-immerses into the ocean after coming out for air. Peace is Divine, as in this moment where the words of a complete stranger are read by a traveller such as yourself. I bid you peace
Long ago in the Edo period, a clan had been formed to unite two clashing villages, which would be known as the Tomanji Clan. The man who had formed the clan was an old samurai, who had fought in the many wars in Japan, but had come to retire. He had a special technique, which he called "the flow state". He said that for one to enter this state, they had to become one with their sword and body - uniting them. When you entered this state, it's as if you can see everything, and time seems to slow. Your eyes see only black and white, and every part of your body except your limbs felt weak. But, your strike would be swift, agile and deadly. This technique would die with him, as he could not finish teaching it before he passed away. But today, some say that a swordsman exists that is able to enter the flow state.
I am writing a chapter right now, and this was just the perfect music that I needed. The calm yet serious ambience helps you focus. Thanks mate, keep posting!
Socrates and Miyamoto Musashi continued their dialogue under the vast expanse of the Japanese night sky. The villagers, still captivated by the extraordinary encounter, lingered in the shadows, eavesdropping on the conversation that unfolded between these two intellectual giants. Socrates: Miyamoto Musashi, your commitment to the Way of the Sword is evident. In my own teachings, I often speak of the importance of questioning and the pursuit of knowledge. How do you reconcile the disciplined practice of the sword with the inquisitive nature of the mind? Musashi: Socrates, the mind and the sword are not separate entities but intertwined aspects of our being. The disciplined practice of the sword is a means to sharpen both the body and the mind. By facing challenges and adapting to the ebb and flow of battle, one hones not only physical skill but also mental acuity. Socrates: Fascinating! It seems we both appreciate the idea that true wisdom lies not only in the acquisition of knowledge but in the application of that knowledge to our daily lives. The pursuit of virtue, it appears, is a multifaceted journey. Musashi: Indeed, Socrates. The Way is not a destination but a continuous path of self-discovery and improvement. To excel in the martial arts or in life, one must embrace change and cultivate a resilient spirit. Socrates: You speak of resilience, a quality I often associate with the ability to endure hardship and maintain one's integrity. Do you believe there are universal principles that guide us in the pursuit of virtue, or are they shaped by the cultural context in which we find ourselves? Musashi: The principles may be expressed in different forms, but the essence remains the same. Whether in the philosophy of ancient Greece or the teachings of Eastern martial traditions, there is a common thread-the pursuit of excellence, the understanding of oneself, and the harmonious integration with the world. Socrates: Harmony, an eloquent concept. It reminds me of the importance of balance in all things. In our pursuit of virtue, we must navigate the extremes and find the middle ground. How does the concept of balance manifest in your martial philosophy? Musashi: Balance is at the core of the Way. In battle, one must be neither too aggressive nor too passive, neither too tense nor too relaxed. It is the delicate dance between opposing forces that allows for effective action. This balance extends beyond the battlefield to the intricacies of daily life. As their conversation deepened, Socrates and Musashi explored topics ranging from the nature of courage to the role of compassion in the pursuit of virtue. The villagers, now enthralled by the philosophical exchange, gained insights that transcended cultural boundaries. The meeting of these two great minds became a bridge between ancient Greece and feudal Japan, uniting them in a shared pursuit of wisdom and excellence. The night unfolded with the exchange of ideas, leaving an indelible mark on the village and its inhabitants.
I don’t usually seek out this kind of music, I was attracted to the name and was expecting some wise words I could learn from. This is absolutely beautiful.
30 is a big year. You've lived long enough to amass experiences and knowledge that you can now learn new things just by ruminating and contemplating your life. Be sure to take some time each week to do so. It's good for your mind, heart, and soul. Happy Birthday.
flow state is basically totally concentrated, and if you concentrately look at musashi for a long time, you can see him moving like liquid, very good background
listening to this mediattion music for a month now and my friends calling me a monk now. anyways this music is my favorite. observing the world and its energy makes me so happy and grateful that i am alive.
Sorry you have to experience this. Unsolicited advice from an anxiety senior: seek therapy in a timely manner. I have wasted years waiting and procrastinating and I am resenting my younger self for not reaching out for help earlier. Chances are good there is a way for you to feel better soon. All the best to you.
Same here alternating with anger state. Seek help , it's not a shame. Help your brain heal by sleeping a lot , taking sun at least two hours per day , walking every day, cold shower , talk to ppl and if you can afford supplements : Creatin, B9 , Omega 3 , Ashwaganda etc .
Behold, the tale of a wise samurai who meditates atop the mountains, training his sword to flow like water. He has no yearning for tomorrow, as he lives in the present, his heart and mind filled with peace as he protects his family. The samurai has embraced death and accepted its inevitability, allowing his mind to flow like water and enter a state of harmony. With every strike of his sword, he lets the flow of life guide his palm, displaying his mastery of the art of flow. The samurai knows that his time is finite, but his hopes and big heart drive him to master the art of flow, so that he can pass it on to his descendants far into the future. Filled with happiness and joy, people come to learn from his life experiences, and he has earned the title "The master of flowing water." This song is here to teach you to enter the state of flow. Let your heart and mind flow endlessly, and let your hand cut through your life like a blade. Let the samurai's words and teachings flow through the emptiness in your heart, and one day, you will master his style and carry on the legacy of "The art of flowing water."
Every battle will not always be victorious, but the true meaning of victory is accepting every defeat you’ve faced, & you chose to get back up again and keep fighting as long as you never give up on yourself, and unto those that loves you.
One of the most important things I have learned is that don't take life too seriously. Instead of regretting, start thinking that "what life is trying to teach me?". Lesson after lesson, you start to know yourself better and the surrounding world in a truly different kind of way. P.S. what ever you do, don't forget to believe in yourself, that's all you need. You're stronger than you think❤
indeed it makes you enter a flow state, this video came up randomly while listening to others and made me (later on than i could realize) work in a state of art that i havent in MONTHS, thank you, Master of Flowing Water.
What a butifull méditation I had with this music, Namaste 🙏🏻 PS : I train Iaido and kenjutsu kata too with your mix 🥋. Thanks a lot for support us on the path of the warrior.
I have attempted to meditate many times in my life and prior to this CD the only success I've experienced is with live guided meditation. ru-vid.comUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq This is the first CD I've used that cuts through my unmedicated ADHD and enables me to truly relax and experience a quiet and energizing interval. The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!
"In that moment, I lost any and every sense of reason. Time slowed and stopped. I realized I didn't care anymore. I didn't care of becoming the best, didn't care of beating my enemies, didn't care of proving myself worthy, and then it sparked. Something inside of me. I lost all control and became one with my surroundings. That's how it happened."
discovered this channel couples of day ago. Miyamoto - Donó is a Legendary man until nowadays. He said in the Sengoku Jidai Period(Warring time period) "You have to understand that there are multiple paths to the top of the mountain." One of my favourite sentences of him.
Prava žena voli gradinara Cvetnu baštu, punu jorgovana Ruke vešte, obraz poput snega Divno telo, pravljeno bez tega I sve to i više od toga Ime mu je ljubav, a prezime sloga Ratnik bio nekad, a sada je ratar Pogled miran dok nožem barata Neće taj na ljude, čak i kad mu sude Neće zlato, slavu, ništa što mu nude Zemlja mu je dom, bila i biće zaveka Kada vidiš ratnika u bašti Znaj vidiš čoveka
I've done my first two katana excercise this week and I love it. I love developing myself I have started doing it serious from this November and I don't plan on stopping. Stay strong everyone... And always remember to be kind...
Are you actually STARTING with a katana? As in, a metal sword? You can do that, but as somebody who did that myself, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're really dead set on going down that path in that way. It's not that it's wrong... it's just bloody and painful. I began four and a half years ago, using metal katana only. I've broken bones, slashed my fingers, ground down the flesh of my knuckles on the guard by gripping it like a baseball bat. I learn from pain, so I was fine with it. But you have to be sure to CARE FOR YOUR HANDS. Clean and disinfect even the smallest of scrapes or wounds. That sword may be your soul, but if you can't grip it well, then you will become soulless. Care for your hands with extreme diligence. Personally I recommend new practitioners get a red oak bokken. Red oak is a hefty, meaty wood with some weight to it and it will emulate the feel of a metal katana immaculately. For training muscle memory and improving your grip timing, red oak bokkens are where it's at. You may want a lighter one made of ash wood also, for breathing practice and generally just focusing on form.
@@FFXI_Addict Thanks for your help man. I already do some martial arts one of them for ten years (Japanese Jiu Jitsu) and German Longsword (4 years/actually two bcs of Covid) so I think I will do katana fencing (Iaido) for a long time. I currently use wooden broken ( not sure about the wood it was really cheap) and me and my friend are currently waiting for duo of bokens from the e-shop called Black Fencer. I will probably order metal katana after some time. Thank you very much for your time and help. I appreciate that
my ears were not ready for this...!! just wow! there is a quote, look deep into the nature and you will understand everything, and I listen to this beautiful saga sitting under the tree, meditating and looking over my life, it surely a very good feeling. Thanks for the upload my man!! much love to you!!
This makes me emotional. Here I am. Here we are. On such a beautiful journey, there is so much to explore. Our exploration is far from limited to the physical dimension. The adventures of the mind and spiritual realms are what interest me the most. As Miyamoto Musashi said, seek nothing outside of yourself and (I don't remember if it was him or someone else who said) Wherever you go, there you are. I further wish you a peaceful and giving journey. Let this be a reminder to keep going and see the beauty around you.
Dear Sensei, It's been three seasons since our paths first crossed. I was locked in the bitter gall of revenge, hatred, and malice. I guess that's normal when someone attacks your wife, but it wouldn't leave me; those overwhelming feelings of despair and betrayal-all the black anger and crimson malice that sprouted within my heart and soul. There's still some dark spots of residue that I still need to grind down, until I'm completely free of those past blemishes upon my spirit. Once or twice a month, I sit in a tent and listen to this a few times in a row. It's the only thing that has allowed me to *stop thinking* so much, and embrace that which simply is, for what it is. This mindset has bled over into every aspect of my life. I ponder over what you've brought to the fore equally, as I do with Biblical sages and the wisdom found in Ecclesiastes and Proverbs. I've meditated on all these precepts for nearly a year straight now, and my life has found increased peace. I don't argue as much as I used to. I keep a level head more often. I've found myself being more considerate of those around me, as I used to be very selfish. I have less problems now, and as a result I've found time to appreciate life's blessings and beauty all the more, multiplying my peace even further. Thank you for what you do, and what you have already done. It has improved the quality of my life.
its crazy that the vagabond manga is on hiatus and the artist is now doing a wheelchair basketball manga. very cool that someone got around to doing a wheelchair basketball manga but its kind of crazy that the mangaka was the one for vagabond. talk about range.
you also could see his previous work, Slam Dunk its one of the best mangas, based on an inexperienced but talented young boy named Hanamichi Sakuragi, so good, and so funny. Slam Dunk is sunny while Vagabond is darker, but both characters reflect the passion you must feel to follow one dream.
The dark shadow waits until you are unbalanced and take over.But if you put your hope and love into the loving energy of the universe then you shall overcome.Namaste.
Man I can't concentrate while listening this song it reminds me of his suffering you will say that for only a week After that you will imagine yourself being him that strong and hardworking man and once you imagine you try to become that version of yourself. This music truly is a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing it to us ❤❤
I know, that absolute statements are not true most of the time. But I do not lie when I say that I have NEVER., in my life, felt more peaceful listening to music! All of this to say: thank you for this mix!!
