Awaken: Meditations of the Warrior

In the foothills of a small village settlement in Japan, a lone figure sits under an old maple tree. He inhales deeply, holds his breath for a pause then exhales. Drawing on the energy and lifeforce around him.Listening to the wind blowing through the trees.He hears village folk in the distance, waking and starting their days.He sits in the moment a little longer, embracing all it brings. Then he opens his eyes.The morning meditation sets the tone for the Akira’s day.Although his days on the battlefield are from another time, many still refer to him with reverence as ‘The Warrior’.For several years Akira has lived a life of relative peace and contemplation.Masterless, Ronin but undoubtably still the Warrior spirit burns within. His life as a Warrior has given him all the riches he requires, to live a life that suits his needs. The life of a wanderer. An eternal seeker. A student. A nomad.Some of the village folk know the truth. They know not only of his warrior background but also that this was one of the most feared and celebrated of all warriors, Akira.A Book of Meditations Akira has started to distil some of the most powerful lessons he has learned into a journal. He utilises this journal as part of his daily practice.Akira uses the book as both a reminder to himself of essentials that have served him well and as an attempt to share his learnings for others looking for answers.He moves through the pages and reads the words he has deemed worthy of leaving on the white of the pages.---About this BookWe are all warriors in our own way.We can learn from Akira’s story.
