Within each of us there is a source of wisdom that supports the ability to take spontaneous, but clear and powerful actions - exactly those that are needed at one time or another. It doesn’t matter whether we are on the tatami, in a meeting room or on a date. Once we reconnect with this source, we will return to the way of life that Wendy Palmer calls the “intuitive state,” when we live every moment, on the one hand, relaxed, and on the other, fully included in the process of being. The author talks about the nature of embodied action - irimi, showing how our perception works in various life situations and how it can be controlled. In a state of irimi, we are in such harmony with the world around us that we do not need analysis, but are able to intuitively make the right decisions in a split second and immediately proceed to action. At the end of the book, basic breathing and meditative practices are given that help balance the energy field and develop the ability to to concentration. They can be used as proposed or modified and integrated into your own practice. Previously, this book was published under the title “The Intuitive Body. Wisdom and practice of aikido."
