All of the above sayings are from the 'Art of Peace' by Morihei Ueshiba - Founder of Aikido - translated by John Stevens.

One excellent method available for us to experience health and harmony is to practise the Martial Art of Aikido. This is an Art of Peace that develops in us an acute awareness of our surrounding environment, the ability to be calm, focused, relaxed and centred.

Aikido is the way of harmony with universal energy. It was founded by Master MORIHEI UESHIBA, who gained the skill to control many attackers at will. He was also regarded as the most spiritual person in Japan and spent much of his later years in study, prayer and contemplation.

Morihei was unique in his ability to express his understanding of Universal Principles... in practical demonstrations that defy normal definitions of reality. Millions of practitioners around the World experience the Positive Benefits of regular training... Aikido - Way of Harmony

Organic food sales growing by £2 million a week

Sales of organic food have increased by over 10 per cent in the last year, according to figures released recently by the Soil Association, the UK’s leading organisation promoting and certifying organic food. Retail sales of organic food are now worth £1.12 billion and growing by £2 million a week - the rate of growth is twice the rate of the general grocery market.

According to the Soil Association’s Organic Food and Farming Report 2004 - the most comprehensive review of the organic sector - the proportion of organic food sold through the supermarkets has fallen by one per cent for the second year running. Increasingly, consumers are turning directly to farmers: sales through box schemes, farmers’ markets or farm shops have soared by 16 per cent and are now worth £108 million a year.

Scotland continues to have over half of all organic land in the UK, while the Southwest of England is home to over a fifth of all organic farms and food companies.

The popularity of organic baby food continues to grow, with sales rising by nearly six per cent, compared to a slight decline in the non-organic baby food market. Nearly half of all baby food sold is now organic.

Around a million more organic chickens were sold last year, increasing sales by 30 per cent to a total of 4.5 million birds. This was despite relatively little promotion by the supermarkets. The Soil Association predicts that organic poultry will continue to be the fastest growing area of organic livestock in the coming year.

Almost no organic chicken is imported, compared with 10 per cent of non-organic chicken, but this is not a reflection of the organic market in general. Although imports of organic food have steadily reduced over the last few years, the Soil Association found that imports have remained static at 56 per cent in 2003-04. A fifth of the organic meat sold in the UK is imported, while potatoes, carrots, onions, apples and pears are still being imported by some leading retailers even when in season here. This is despite a target set by the Government to encourage retailers to ensure that imports of organic food fall to 30% by 2010.

Patrick Holden, Director of the Soil Association said: "The organic market is thriving and is being driven by consumers who want to buy fresh, local, good-quality seasonal food directly from the farmer. The leading supermarkets must take note of the public’s wishes and increase the amount of locally-sourced organic food in store, which should come from small and medium-sized farms."

The Soil Association says that Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose have done most to reduce their reliance on imports and stock more organic food from UK farmers. However, the organisation is warning that slashing the price of organic products to expand sales does not work convincingly and can have serious consequences for producers.

"If supermarket buyers pay their suppliers significantly less, the small, mixed family farms that are the bedrock of the organic movement can no longer afford to supply them," says Patrick Holden.

If your mind is upset, the natural functions of your body also become disturbed. When the mind is calm, the body is relaxed, spontaneous, free and easy. A PURE MIND controls the body and a Mastery of the body leads to a pure mind.

Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969) was on a lifelong spiritual journey, a visionary whose search for the true meaning of Budo led to the creation of the Martial Art called Aikido (The Way of Harmony). The Japanese term 'jutsu' (combat form) became 'do' (path). Aikijutsu with its hard linear movements evolved into Aikido with flowing circular movements.

Morihei developed the ability to disarm any attacker, throw several attackers simultaneously, and down and pin opponents without even touching them as recorded dozens of times in photographs, on film and by personal testimony. He said that Aikido is not a series of techniques to fight or defeat the enemy, but rather a way to reconcile the world to make human beings one family.

Morihei's intense physical quest for spiritual enlightenment resulted in a profound vision that had life changing effects...

He had just ended a strenuous sword duel with a naval officer, during which he was aware of a beam of light showing him where the opponent was to strike next. He went to his garden to draw water from the well to freshen up. Suddenly, he began to tremble finding it impossible to move. The earth appeared to shake and everything surrounding him was turned to gold... at that moment he heard the words "I am the Universe". All barriers between the physical and spiritual worlds disapeared, and Morihei realised that the true destiny of the martial arts was not domination but love.

He said that Aikido is the bridge to peace and harmony for all humankind. Aikido connects everyone, everywhere to develop and cultivate a mutual understanding and respect for each other. His lifelong devotion to study and disciplined training allowed him to experience 'True Budo"... harmony, love and protection for all beings.

Aikido is a progressive and enlightening discipline that is practised all over the world, by millions of people, from all walks of life. The Art of Peace connects the human family on an increasingly global scale.

West Sussex, UK - Independant Aikido Dojo... Arun Aikido Club

Aikido is the most recent and fastest growing of the major martial arts that has at its essence pure spirituality. With ancient samurai roots, a radical reform of the samurai tradition and seeking the loving protection of all beings, rather than victory over others. It appears mystical at times but is extremely practical, with infinite applications for every aspect of our physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual life.

Even more important than the vast variety of physical techniques is the philosophy behind it. To understand Aikido, we begin to live it and enter a new world in which age old assumptions are turned upside down. Life's unexpected blows become gifts where attacks lead to harmony, tension and pain are experienced as vital energy. Using these skills allows us to create positive opportunities out of negative situations and to experience more love, power and happiness in daily life. It is particularly useful for maintaining balance and composure in times of crisis.

By being captivated by the complex dual world, we have fallen into an attitude that fighting each others energy is the normal reaction and the law of the jungle. Locking up the speech and actions of others in our minds is not non-resistance, it is endurance. It is easy to see the faults of others, but not so easy to see our own. The short cut to a soloution is to be tolerant and broad-minded of others... winning without fighting.

All Aikido techniques that co-ordinate mind and body are based on the principles and laws of nature. We can even avoid arguments when an opponent attacks us, but we must learn to remain calm and peaceful in our daily lives, under all circumstances and conditions in our environment. When we become calm and at ease we are able to focus on the real issue... winning over ourselves.

An ancient intuition of the human race is that there exists a vital energy associated with intention, a subtle force that fills and extends beyond the physical body (Aura). There are words for this life force in almost every language, often referring to the term for 'breath'...

Ki in Japanese, Chi in Chinese, Prana in Sanskrit, Bioenergy in English etc. This Ki is often associated with special Martial Arts powers, but more importantly develops vitality and health in all living organisms. Ki is much more than an aid to techniques, it is the activity of life and the essence of spirit, it is the vibrations of sound and light that penetrate the entire universe, the creative energy of the Divine Essence... God.

Ki is used in ancient systems of healing that have 'meridians' (pathways of energy flow), 'Chakras' (energy Centres), and Tsubos (Points along the meridians where energy can be corrected and balanced). Acupuncture (needle insertion to stimulate or calm) and Acupressure (finger or thumb pressure) are proven healing techniques that defy scientific investigation.

Ki passes through a series of contradictory processes and in the Orient, this duality is called Yin and Yang: positive/negative, light/dark, male/female etc.
