#Heijoshin (平常心)
"peace of mind"
"Hei" (平) #peaceful
"Jo" (常) always or #constant
"Shin" (心) #mind or #heart

State of #calm #steady & undisturbed #composure allowing clear thinking/action
Product of #InnerStrength #discipline #BalancedMind; refining #character rather than temporary state of calm
renowned swordsman #YagyūMunenori (1571-1646) emphasized that a person who handles all matters with Heijoshin is considered a #master Overcoming the #FourSicknesses:
In martial arts, it means overcoming the four sicknesses: fear, doubt, surprise, and hesitation

MUSHIN
In martial practice; a concept of not overly thinking nor getting distracted by any multitude of events; approaching things as single mind or single unending moment of flow, without acceptance nor denial, where technique is none yet all.
