Are you physically and mentally healthy? Is life going as you wish?

Shin-shin-toitsu-do is a form of Japanese yoga and a practical philosophy developed by Nakamura Tempu, based on the cosmic perspective, life perspective, and worldview known as “Tempu Philosophy.” It is an original concept designed to fully unleash ki: the “power of life.” By cultivating a positive mindset and maintaining physical well-being, one can confidently lead a healthy and happy life.

Throughout history, there have been numerous theories on happiness by scholars, experts, and religious figures. However, most of them have remained idealistic in the realm of “How to say,” lacking concrete practical advice in the form of “How to do.” The tremendous “power of life” is inherently given to everyone. Consider practicing Nakamura Tempu’s original Shin-shin-toitsu-do and discover a truly meaningful and valuable life filled with purpose. Why not embark on a journey to acquire such a life for yourself?

You can do just that by participating in H. E. Davey’s international online classes. Taught by the Western world’s leading expert, these Zoom classes are offered in English and at various times each week. Class recordings are available for students in different time zones.

In Nakamura Tempu Sensei’s early years he contracted tuberculosis, and he was told he didn't have long to live. In response, he launched a global quest to cure his tuberculosis or at least find peace of mind in the face of death.

This search took him to the USA, where he studied medicine at Columbia University. Next, he traveled to Europe, where he lived with actress Sarah Bernhardt and researched psychology. In Egypt, he encountered Kaliappa, an Indian mystic and yoga master, who brought him to India for a final attempt to save his life.

Despite dying from tuberculosis, he sat for hours each day in meditation beside a waterfall. After austere meditation in the Himalayas, Nakamura Tempu attained enlightenment, shook off the bonds of illness, and returned to Japan a changed man. In 1919, he founded Shin-shin-toitsu-do, his groundbreaking system of Japanese yoga and meditation. Since then over one million people have had their lives transformed by his extraordinary teachings, but until recently it's been difficult to learn his original and authentic Shin-shin-toitsu-do outside of Japan.

Now you can experience Nakamura Tempu's life changing Japanese yoga and meditation for yourself in our worldwide online classes. They're offered in English and taught by H. E. Davey, the award winning author of Japanese Yoga: The Way of Dynamic Meditation. Learn more at www.TempuYoga.com.

JAPANESE PEOPLE LOVE READING BOOKS

Looking at Tsutaya Bookstore in Nagoya, Japan, you'll see how the Japanese people engage with reading. They rank third in the world for reading, following only India and Israel.

To become a developed nation as it is today, Japan has encouraged its people to read and fostered a reading culture for over 300 years. During the Genroku era (1688-1704), they established a publishing system that produced up to 10,000 books per year.

Western culture flourished in Japan during the Meiji era. They translated many famous works for educational purposes and set up libraries across the country to serve the public for free.

Currently, Japan publishes 43,000 new books every year. The print run for each book can reach millions of copies. On average, a Japanese person reads more than 10 books per year.

Japanese people carry books to read wherever they go. When they travel, they visit bookstores and buy books. This is different from people in some countries who consider shopping and dining as their main activities during travel.

Reading cultures is always admirable. If you haven't, now it is a good time to start reading!
