I am so honored to be featured in New York Weekly, which took a deep dive into the core principles of my new book, The Dance of Love. The article beautifully captures the essence of using Aikido-inspired wisdom to navigate the complexities of modern relationships.
The piece highlights what it truly means to stay centered, even when emotions run high. As they quoted from the book:
“Being centered means you retain your own power no matter what is going on around you. It means you don’t get overwhelmed by intense situations or energies.”
The article explores how Aikido provides a somatic model for love, offering actionable tools to move from reactive patterns into a state of presence and relational flow. It touches upon the dynamic dance between healthy assertiveness and attuned responsiveness, and the importance of staying emotionally alive in our hyper-digital world.
It’s a wonderful summary of how we can embody power, presence, and passion in our connections.
