Aikido, Metaphysics & Spirituality, an Interview by Jon De Luca

Jon Di Luca Interviewed me about my time studying the Japanese martial art of aikido. To quote Jon:   ‘To summarize what we talked about, I’d say it was mainly centered on if/how martial arts training could be used as a testing ground for spiritual concepts. Even after this conversation, the question lingers for me - how can martial arts practice, intrinsically linked to violence and conflict, be a path towards spiritual awakening? And what even is spiritual awakening?’   Follow Jon on Spotify and Substack:   https://open.spotify.com/episode/3Bz8b1zdCFTSK7w45BGbfh   https://jondiluca.substack.com/p/new-podcast-episode
