Sometimes you drift through life, wondering how things can ever get better. As for myself, buying this book turned out to be one of the major turning points in my life.

This book is a must read for anyone who wants proof of the power of positive thinking. Trust me, it does work!

The best part of the book (my own opinion), is actually found at the end of the book, under the "Thirteen Rules for Disciplinants". Apply these rules to your daily life (not just in Akido) and you will realise that "not to contend with others brings absolute victory" which parallels Sun Tzu's thinking that "to win without fighting is best". If everyone on Earth had a copy of this book, there would be no more unnecessary wars being waged.

Koichi Tohei Sensei deserves the Nobel Peace prize for having generosity of spirit in sharing his revolutionary ideas with the rest of humanity!

This book is wonderful! It not only describes what ki is but offers exercises that work on harnessing your ki. The reader learns about breathing and control of one's body. If you are a serious martial artist this is a must have book. I have practiced for 3 years and I wish I had read this book sooner. The information is this book is priceless in regular practice.

I have been in the Martial Arts for ten years. In this time I have read many books about inner strength and KI. So far this one has topped them all. Koichi Tohei has written a masterpiece. "KI in Daily Life" has been the most accurate description so far of KI that I have read. It is ideal for the novice to advanced student. Tohei not only describes in detail mediataion, and excercises to build your inner power, but also pictures and demonstrations. In conclusion I recommend this book from the beginer to advance students in KI, and a must read for all Martial Artists.

I practice this form of ki with the Honolulu Ki Society and have been having problems developing my ki. I have read this book and within one week I feel a great difference in my life. my attitude is getting so much better and problems I was having with different people are now subsiding. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in improving their life! I know from personal experience that ki is real and it does work.

I have studied martial arts for 3 decades. And I find this book very useful.My art is Matsubayashi Ryu. Ki applies to all of the arts and life in general. I have found that these excercises in this book to be a benefit to my health and my karate.This book is the best explanation of KI I have ever read.

As a shodan (1st degree black belt), I found the book very helpful in applying the principles learned through the study of Aikido and using them in my day to day life. Some of the information may seem very deep, but the book overall is very good.

After years of Aikido training I reached the conclusion that Japanese cannot articulate their thoughts about KI simply because, in so doing, they would have to admit that all the KI "stuff" comes from China. Even in this book Tohei sensei talks about positive and negative energy because he eventually doesn't want to use the terms Yin and Yang. This having said, this book offers an interesting perspective about the body energy as it is envisioned by Japanese. Tohei sensei reportedly is a man with immense KI. He is the only Great Master who received the 10th dan from O Sensei M. Ueshiba.
In conclusion, if you want a Japanese perspective on KI, buy it. If you are a beginner and want to get started on your inner energy cultivation, I strongly suggest you to buy "Opening the Energy Gates of your Body" By Kumar Frantzis. If you are experienced in this field ... well you already know what you want to do.

It was the book i have been looking for long time ago, thank you for shipped to be so fast, i really appreciate that.

`Ki in Daily Life' is a wonderful book by Koichi Tohei explaining the principles and development of Ki and how to apply it in your daily life. It goes through step by step in ways of developing good Ki and focuses on breathing method as well. In the second section it looks at ways of applying what you've learnt as you sleep, get up, eat, move, speak and more besides. It also has chapters with guidelines for those learning how to develop Ki, as well as for those teaching. This has clear photography and the writing is easy to read in one sitting, as well as being easy to regularly refer back to. I bought this book to help with my Aikido practise, but you could easily use it on it's own and do not need to practise a martial art to benefit. This is a short, but insightful book from an inspirational Sensei.

Hi everyone,

I'm a very big fan of Koichi Tohei Master.
I'm inspired of his Ki theory so that i've collected many books of him.

Ki in Daily Life is one of his best book (and most popuplar). I hope i can go to japan another day and join in Ki Society. That's my big dream.

If you are interested in Koichi Tohei Master, i recommend to buy this DVD:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002MC5LMG/universalmind-22

(You should know Japanese to watch that DVD).

I have some disadvantages so that i can't buy it. If anyone has it, please share a review with us.

Good day,

Anh,
