Lessons from the mat

Why the Aikido mat?

Aikido doesn’t teach you to overpower an attack. It teaches you to stay centered and move with it.

AikiCalm

That turns out to be a powerful way to handle anxiety. This isn’t a quick fix or a five-minute trick. It’s a way of training: small repetitions, every day, the same way you’d train on the mat.

From R. P. White, author of AikiCalm, a book of 28 Aikido-inspired exercises for anxiety.
