Aura,
Ki & Healing
by Shojiro Sugiyama
This book explains how to produce and project mental energy as external
power and how to create a radar system for martial artists. You may have
experienced the feeling of being watched;and when you looked around, you
discovered that indeed someone had been watching you. You felt his intention
with your sixth sense. This intention or desire is called Ki (Chi in Chinese),
and it can be seen as an aura. Furthermore, you can make this power of
desire, or Ki, stronger and use it as an external physical force. Shojiro
Sugiyama

The
Book of Five Rings
by Miyamoto Musashi
To learn a Japanese martial art is to learn Zen, and although you can't
do so simply by reading a book, it sure does help--especially if that book
is The Book of Five Rings. One of Japan's great samurai sword masters penned
in decisive, unfaltering terms this certain path to victory, and like Sun
Tzu's The Art of War it is applicable not only on the battlefield but also
in all forms of competition. Always observant, creating confusion, striking
at vulnerabilities--these are some of the basic principles. Going deeper,
we find suki, the interval of vulnerability, of indecisiveness, of rest,
the briefest but most vital moment to strike. In succinct detail, Miyamoto
records ideal postures, blows, and psychological tactics to put the enemy
off guard and open the way for attack. Most important of all is Miyamoto's
concept of rhythm, how all things are in harmony, and that by working with
the rhythm of a situation we can turn it to our advantage with little effort.
But like Zen, this requires one task above all else, putting the book down
and going out to practice. --Brian Bruya - Amazon.com
Book Description: Written over three centuries ago by a Samurai
warrior, the book has been hailed as a limitless source of psychological
insight for businessmen-or anyone who relies on strategy and tactics for
outwitting the competition.
