Standing on The Floating Bridge of Heaven - Quantum Aikido クォンタム 合気道 - NZ 2025 - Richard Moon

Quantum Aikido (クォンタム 合気道): The Art of Aiki Listening: Harmonizing with Universal Energy (New Zealand)

In this teaching, Moon Sensei explores the fundamental principle of harmonizing with universal energy through the metaphor of Aiki Listening, revealing how Aikidō (合気道): The Way of Harmony's core principles transform not just physical encounters, but the daily challenges we all face.
New Zealand Exploration: Harmonizing with Force

What You'll Learn:
• The path to harmonizing with the universe: starting by harmonizing with a partner's force or attack.
• The power of Aiki Listening: Responding in harmony with consideration of what the forces are "saying."
• How to cultivate a finer sensibility to feel and respond to energy without physical touch.

On the last trip to New Zealand, we emphasized that harmonizing with the energy of the universe is practiced through harmonizing with the energy of a partner’s force or attack. We use the metaphor of listening, meaning responding in harmony, with consideration of what the forces are saying or implying.

The practice begins in the tangible dimension with physical touch to make the practice clear. However, the work is refined through practice to finer and finer dimensions, cultivating a finer and finer sensibility until the energy can be felt and responded to without the pressure of physical touch, thereby increasing capability and effectiveness.

The depth of Aikido's power lies in the unexpected ability of harmony to surmount even the most challenging of life's surprises—from unexpected violence to difficult conversations, from professional conflicts to personal challenges. The beauty of these teachings lies in their everyday application, transforming the pressures of change and every challenge of life from a struggle to an experience much more akin to dancing with the unfolding universe.

Standing On The Floating Bridge of Heaven (Ame-no-ukihashi ni tatsu / 天之浮橋に立つ)—unifying the two forces whether described as mind and body, attention and experience, the universal breath, and the volitional breath—is, in the founder's words, the secret to Aikido. Moving into presence in the moment in relationship to exactly what's going on is the fundamental practice. In a state of presence perception becomes holistic and power functions harmoniously with what is going on. This is about accessing your training at any moment, in real-world situations far beyond the dojo or tournament setting.
