Will your Path be the Way of Action?
The path of Action requires you to do practices two times a day for short periods of time. It does not require any profound knowledge of yoga, meditation or any prior experience. Just dedicated Action.

"A white bobbin quivers. It links earth and sky. A thread unites man with God. We are that thread."
- The three paintings in the columns above are by the Shodo Master Saiso Shimada created after meditating with Nathalie Ishizuka on Dr. Paul Briot's Text. Shimada has been meditating for many years Qigong (Kikou) and Zen and began meditating about 3-4x weekly with Nathalie in an intensive training for over 3 years.
We meditated in Samyama on different texts and on different themes as taught by my Raja yoga teacher. This method can be learned by other Artists using a step by step approach found in AYP (Advanced Yoga Practices) by Yogani. Shimada also used with some of students the AYP method.

Will Your Path be The Way of the Heart?
The path of the heart requires you to forget everything you know and release negative emotions and thoughts as they arise. We learn to love ourselves unconditionally. This is the fastest route. Constant love.
Sun and Earth Unite
A large acrylic painting by Nathalie Ishizuka with a meditation for the viewer that anchors the Earth and Sky for when you need to combine Vision with Balance and Grounding. This is for us dreamers to anchor our visions into the earth and in the present. Let us rise to inspired action.
Man's Step Forward
Man's Step Forward by Nathalie Ishizuka invites you to change your conception of a To Do List. Each step becomes the list in itself. Choose an intention, what you seek most, and why move at all. It is not so much what you do, but how you do it that will transform your life.
Energy South India
Soak in the energy from Nathalie Ishizuka's stay in South India meditating with Sadhguru on a special night where the Indian Prime Minister and so many others were present. Harmonize the physical and spiritual. Learn about different paths of the spirit. Find one that is suitable for you.
Will Your Path be the Way of Knowledge?
The path of knowledge is for the curious who want to know how everything -- including the universe works. This is experience based. Be ready to turn everything in your life updside down. Everything.
Regeneration
This painting by Nathalie Ishizuka is about the soul blossoming after March 11, 2011. The 15 minute meditation works on self healing in deep ways that include regeneration of one's cells. It allows us to get rid of the old outdated and polluted cellular information and to evolve to a new level. Ideal frequency is once a week.
Awakening Energy
This painting by Nathalie Ishizuka is about the spirit being as sharp as a sword -- and piercing three peaches. Each peach represents a crisis: Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Fukushima. The spirit transcends. This 10 minute meditation helps circulate Kundalini energy from the earth to your nadis and upper chakras. The meditation we do together adapts to your level.
Vital Balance
This painting by Nathalie Ishizuka is about the earth and its intimate link with the Sun (the eye). This 15 minute meditation is done with a candle lit representing the sun and our own personal request that any blockages or self limitations that do not have to be made conscious are removed. It can be done whenever you feel the need.

Enjoy Inner Silence
Beauty of space -- both inner and outer-- combine for your experience of meditation as the art or life. Art workshops are also offered for those who want to create with their hands and not just with the spirit or heart.
Explore One or Two Meditations Outside
A few of the meditations release negative emotions. These should be ideally done outside on a terrace or outside in the garden. Outside practices are accessible for practioners depending on need and inclination. For those healing from physical ailments, nature will nurture. For those who can not go outside, just air out the room.
A Sacred Space to Practice
Finding it difficult to teach in a space that was consistently energized and where she could explore freely art (as art and life can get messy!), Nathalie Ishizuka decided to share her personal space with a very small group of others committed to practice and to follow their, heart, mind and spirit.
