In this episode, Björn Aris, a practitioner and teacher of samurai swordsmanship with over 40 years of experience. Björn shares his journey from investment banking to discovering the transformative power of this ancient martial art, which he describes as "Zen in action."
Björn explains how samurai swordsmanship, or Iaido, is more than just a martial art—it's a way of life that promotes personal growth, self-awareness, and healing. He discusses the concept of "kata," pre-arranged forms that serve as a framework for deeper exploration of oneself. Through consistent practice, Björn reveals how this discipline can lead to a profound sense of freedom, richness, and connection with one's body and intuition.
The conversation delves into the importance of discipline, the power of intuition, and the transformative nature of facing one's fears and traumas through practice. Björn also touches on how he's translated the wisdom of swordsmanship into practical teachings for businesses and individuals, emphasizing the universal nature of these principles across cultures.
Throughout the episode, Björn shares personal anecdotes and insights, offering listeners a glimpse into the profound impact that dedicating oneself to a practice can have on one's life. He encourages listeners to trust in themselves, not in who they think they are, but in who they truly are.
