Seiki – A Form of Japanese Healing
by John Bourne
Seiki was founded by Akinobu Kishi in 1978. 'Sei' means space and harmony and 'Ki' is life energy and movement. Fundamentally, Seiki treats the breath (the life energy) – through the breath the body rediscovers its space. Distortions of our life energy can occur as a result of everyday pressures that manifest themselves as physical and emotional problems. Seiki unravels these distortions, creating harmony and balance. It may be considered a development of Shiatsu, as the practitioner intuitively follows what he observes in the client's body.

The T'ai Chi Way of Life
by Per Oden
This article covers the history, philosophy and practice of T'ai Chi. It describes the author's pilgrimage which led him from transcendental meditation into an ancient Chinese art which enabled him to embrace the world rather than escape from it. Or at least the modified form of this art which had been introduced after the Manchurian invasion of China in the 17th century. The rising tide of interest in T'ai Chi during the 19th century, enabled it to survive industrialization, albeit in a style which replaced classical temple-style meditation forms and mental discipline with slow-moving exercises.
