POWERS OF THE MIND: The Reinvention of Liberal Learning in America, by AE President Don Levine, was published in October 2006 by the University of Chicago Press. Among other things, the book represents the first call by a prominent academic figure to include some sort of bodymind training as an integral part of the liberal curiculum of the future.

Throw Versus Release
by: Beth Shibata Date: November 2004
Using the martial term nage ("throw") leads to interpretations that violate the aiki spirit. Author Beth Shibata proposes that "release" is a term more consistent with the intention and ethos of aikido.

IMPEACH THE CULTURE?
by: Donald N. Levine Date: July 7, 2007
As a practicing martial artist, I know the worst thing to do in fighting an enemy is to create more enemies unnecessarily. So why did the US public heighten America's vulnerability by supporting an invasion of Iraq as an al Qaeda host when it was public knowledge that Saddam’s regime had opposed al Qaeda?
Quentin Cooke at UKAE-Aikido in Business
by: Quentin Cooke Date: 4/15/2007
Since Aiki Extensions turned its attentions to the UK about 2 and half years ago, I have been a supporter, mainly because I have always felt that really it was how we practised off the mat that was more important than our activities on it. After all most of us only get to spend but a few short hours a week on the mat. Our practice just provides an excellent way of demonstrating the philosophy in a dramatic and powerful way. So when Aiki Extensions in the shape of Mark Walsh came a calling, it was great to know that I was not a lone voice in the wilderness.

REACH OUT: BODY AWARENESS TRAINING FOR PEACEMAKING-
by: Paul Linden Date: 2003
Responding to the fact that learning aikido is so labor intensive, REACH OUT proceeds directly to cultivate personal peace through changes in body states. The book offers five lessons that show how to work with breathing, muscle tone, posture, movement and intention. These may help aikido instructors to teach public classes on embodied peacemaking, as well as to deepen regular aikido instruction.

Aikido and Creative Expression
by: William Levine Date: Mar. 01
A revised version of the paper Presented at 3rd International Conference of Aiki Extensions, Tamalpais, CA, March 23-25. Music as a form of creative expression is similar to Aikido’s strong influence on creative development and expression. The embodied wisdom and awareness gained from the practice of Aikido flows naturally, almost inevitably, into artistic process.

Living in the Unspeakable
by: Richard Strozzi-Heckler Date: unknown
The events of September 11 have irrevocably changed our lives and placed us in a time of personal and national trial. Everyday we hear from another pundit rushing to the internet announcing their particular angle. Public commentators infantilize us with their pseudo-therapeutic bromides of grief management, confidence-building, and emotional healing. Yes, let’s restore ourselves in communities, but let’s not be absurd together, and let’s not have others treat us as if we’re stupid. see Aiki Extensions Newsletters.

Center is a state of being. You are centered when you are moving on purpose, without irritation or frustration. You are centered when you are open to discovery, no matter what the circumstances, when you are willing to learn and to change based on what you learn.
