Aikido/NLP/Feldenkrais MethodAikido, meaning the "way of harmonising energy", was founded by the Master Morihei Ueshiba, who comes from a small city in Japan, called Tanabe (Wakayama Prefecture).Among the Japanese martial arts, the one which is the closest in philosophy to such a mystical school as Taoism in China, is Aikido.
NLP is often described as "Mental Aikido", in the sense that NLP enables us to achieve mentally in the interpersonal as well as intrapersonal communication, what Aikido achieves in the physical and psychic (meaning "vital force" here) levels. Further, the physiotherapeutic method called Feldenkrais Method (also called Postural Integration) founded by Moshe Feldenkrais would be equivalent to Aikido or NLP in the field of physiotherapy.
