my spirit beckons to my soul
yearning for other lands.
Katsugen exercise is wonderful and physically liberating. The exercise has enabled me to formulate katsugen, the philosophy, which has been such a boon to my life that I had to share it by writing this book.
Words, actually, are insufficient to describe katsugen exercise. Seeing somebody else do the exercise helps, but even that is not always enough for someone to "get it". In a way, it is like the air. You can't grasp it with your hand but it is all around you. The way to understand katsugen exercise is to not try so hard at figuring out what it is. Just do the induction movements and let it flow of its own accord. Some of you may take to it right away, while others may require a longer time. It is even possible that you will give up for a long while, only to come back to it in the future when your body requires it.
This book is a result of my experiences that came from a practice taught me by Noguchi-san. Presently, as far as I know, there are no medical data or documentation that support claims that katsugen exercise is beneficial to one's health. It is my hope that, eventually, enough people will practice this exercise so that medical science will get curious enough to perform some clinical tests regarding its efficacy in health maintenance.
Regarding katsugen, the philosophy, it is something that cannot be analyzed by scientific tests. The proof of its value will be in the lives of those who live it and the acts they perform in service to the world.
