From shodo--"the Way of calligraphy"—to budo—"the martial Way"—the Japanese have succeeded in designing their traditional arts and crafts as paths to meditation. The names of these skills frequently end with the word Do, also pronounced Michi, which equals the "Way." When practicing a Way, we unearth universal principles that go beyond a specific discipline, relating to the art of living itself. F

eaturing the books of H. Davey and other select writers, works by Michi Publishing center on these Do forms. Michi Publishing’s focus
is on classical Asian arts, spirituality, and meditation, benefiting all cultures.

Your Mental Attitude

It goes without saying that it is the mind that meets and handles every single event in our lives, from our personal struggles to our public affairs.

Because of this, if your mental attitude is negative when facing a challenge, you will find it impossible to resolve it successfully. When you slip into a negative state of mind, you block the power of your own will from waking up and rising into your conscious awareness.—Nakamura Tempu

Notes

消極的 (Negative / Passive): In the context of Japanese mental-cultivation philosophies (like that of Nakamura Tempu), shokyoku-teki is the direct opposite of sekkyoku-teki (positive/active). It implies a state of being defeatist, passive, or fearful.

実在意識領 (The conscious mind / The realm of objective consciousness): This is a specialized psychological/philosophical term. It refers to the waking, active layer of consciousness where we exercise intention, as opposed to the subconscious.—H. E. Davey, author of Teachings of Tempu: Practical Meditation for Daily Life
