Richard Moon has always liked delving into the energy aspects of life. Quantum Aikido, his latest endeavor, is a very useful and wonderfully engaging book. * Robert Nadeau, 8th Dan, Aikido master teacher and direct disciple of Aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba * In language that is both lyrical and clear, Richard shows us the underlying unity of creation. He does this through the perspectives of quantum physics, music, and the Japanese martial art of Aikido. These multiple perspectives highlight the underlying unity between ourselves and the universe at large. * Bob Noha, 7th Dan, chief instructor of Aikido of Petaluma and coauthor of Aikido: The Art of Transfo * Richard Moon Sensei is a leader who has contributed greatly to the world of Aikido for many years. I believe his new book, Quantum Aikido, will be a gateway that opens a new door for those who practice Aikido in the future. * Hiroshi Ikeda, 8th Dan, founder and chief instructor of Boulder Aikikai Inc. and vice president of A * If you are interested in a transformative path involving a deep connection with self and others, an embodied spiritual practice, and unifying with a universal energy, I highly recommend Quantum Aikido. * Richard Strozzi-Heckler, 7th Dan, author of Embodying the Mystery * Quantum Aikido is a brilliant overview of the power of blending the art of attention with the science of action. It is a must-read guide to learning how to dance in an emerging world where it is becoming harder to hear the music. * Robert H. Lengel, author of The Front Porch Revolution * In an age where we are drowning in information on how to be happy and live healthieryet suffering from dis-ease in both arenasRichard Moons experience-based wisdom offers a missing link. The answers have always been within us, and Quantum Aikido paves a path to reconnect with what the body already knows: that what we seekfor both inner and collective reconciliationis not far, but lives encoded in the intuitive intelligence of our movement, breath, and energy. * Emilia Elisabet Lahti, Ph.D., author of Gentle Power * Richard Moon shows how our individual spirit can connect with broader energies by replacing confrontation with a comfort born of acceptance and open curiosity. This is an astonishing and profoundly instructive book. * Peter Goodman, publisher at Stone Bridge Press * In Quantum Aikido, Richard Moon has captured light in a bottle! Simplicity itself: when facing challenges, let yourself feel more. When we sink open, we feel vibrant universal energy rising in response. Further releasing into that wave of intensity, we receive the natural flow of intuitive wisdom and spontaneous creativity. Releasing into energetic presence, we merge with the unified field of limitless awareness and awaken as one. Thank you, Moon Sensei. * Christopher Thorsen, Aikido teacher and founder of Inquiry into Consciousness and Quantum Edge * Richard is a committed teacher and investigator, daring to push the envelope and attempting to discover deeper truths. The cutting edge of quantum physics and its role in our lives is a new and interesting frontier. Although we dont know where such research and theories will ultimately end up, if it helps to improve peoples lives and increase their effectiveness in relating to the forces of life, I support Richards contributions to the effort. * Peter Ralston, author of Ending Unnecessary Suffering and The Art of Mastery * This is an extraordinary treasure of a book. Very few works even attemptlet alone achievewhat this one does: it gives you the felt experience of sitting with a master, guiding you to discover new realms of understanding and awareness within yourself. In earlier times, one sought such a teacher, hoping to be fortunate enough to learn at their side over years of close apprenticeship. Remarkably, Richard Moon offers that same gift here. Through these pages you are invited into a living dialogue that will touch your life and leave you forever changed. * William Isaacs, senior lecturer at MIT Management Sloan School * Richards groundbreaking new book, Quantum Aikido is the culmination of 60+ years studying the wisdom of Somatic Presenceyoga, meditation, martial arts, improv music, theater & dance. Cultivated through application to International Peace Building, executive coaching & mediation, the study bridges and unifies systems of ancient knowledge with the leading edge of science. Exploring the mystery that is the universe, Quantum Aikido transforms wave particle duality into wave particle unity. * Tom Pinkson, author of The Psychedelic Shaman * We spend years in the dojo refining our technical skills, trying to get our footwork right. But what if we're missing out on a most crucial dimension? What if the physical technique we see is merely the dust that remains after the true action has already occurred? I usually shy away from anything labeled Quantum in fear that it probably leans too scientific for my taste. However, Moon Sensei's approach [ in Quantum Aikido] has completely shifted my perspective. Moon Senseis influence on my own practice this year has been profoundly positive. He has a way of learning out loud that makes you feel like a fellow explorer on the edge of the known universe...brilliant book. * Jon Deluca, host of Ki to the City *
