🏯🗡️ In this episode we’re hopping on the Culture Train and traveling to Japan to meet Sensei Zen Takai, the last heir of a 16-generation Zen Samurai lineage. Get ready to learn about the ancient samurai traditions that focus on peace, balance, and emotional control—lessons that are more relevant today than ever.

He introduces us to the powerful meditation practices that samurai use to center themselves, focusing on deep breathing and moving meditation. Together, we’ll try out these calming techniques and learn how they can help us control our emotions and find inner peace.
We also dive into the meanings of two important Japanese characters—Iki (breathing) and Ki (energy)—and how they’re connected to finding peace and balance. Plus, you’ll get to practice a simple but effective breathing exercise that you can use whenever you need to calm your mind.
Tune in and discover how the ancient wisdom of the samurai can help us all find peace, focus, and balance in our busy lives.
Important Disclaimer:
Please remember that the breathing and meditation techniques shared in this episode are intended for peaceful moments of relaxation. If you're operating heavy machinery or engaged in any activity that requires full attention (such as driving, operating equipment, or other high-risk tasks), do not practice the meditation exercises while doing so.
