Hiya, hope all’s well. I want to invite you to our three-hour silent meditation session on Sunday afternoon. It’s at SOS, 4 Hogarth Road opposite Earls Court Tube. There’s full instruction if you need it in the four types of meditation – sitting, standing, lying and walking and private interviews (sanzen) will be available. Scientific research has shown that a group of meditators can cause positive changes to the crime rate in their city.  We are far more interconnected than we realise. Right now the world is in a very turbulent and troubled state. So come on down and help to create peace around you as well as peace in yourself. We’ll be meeting at 3pm. If you’re going to be late, just give me a call. See you there.

Hiya,
As London drags its way through the January freezing rains, we’ve been getting something going that will set you up for the year ahead in fine style. But before I get into that, I want to mention how in the East Asian system of healthcare and preservation of your wellbeing, this time of year is one in which you need to nourish your kidneys. That means, keep your back warm, eat warm food with dark and salty qualities. You might be surprised how just giving either side of your spine a really good rub in the mornings can boost your overall energy levels. There’s lots more to tell you about adapting to the seasons. I think I already let you know about my sunday class in SOS, Earls Court, London, incorporating Zen and Yoga in a potent and fun cocktail; well now, I’m really excited about getting something going on mondays too. This is actually going to be three sessions. The flyer has it like this:

6-7pm – Taikyokuken ( Ch.Tai Chi) – enter the flow of life;
7-8pm Zen Yoga – harmonise body and mind;
8-9pm – Zen – realise your true nature;

Each class is separate, but of course they operate synergistically. Come to any combination: one class: £9, two classes: £16 and all three are £19. The venue is SOS, 4 Hogarth Road, Earls Court, just across the road from the Earls Court tube station. Come on down. I think you’ll benefit on every level. More info – give me a call on 07904319952. Oh and please tell your friends.

Cheers Daizan

New class, mondays at earl’s court – come on down and study taichi yoga and zen. Wow! we’re going to feel good.
