I am blessed beyond belief, and left speechless once again. I’ve just received this stunning work of Art from my sister’s In-laws from Goa, India. They’re school teachers and one of their extremely talented students Avril, made this KaizenTao Bottle of Life for me.
It can be wired to illuminate as a lamp by adding a string of lights inside. Although, I find it perfect as is. Regretfully, the pics do not do justice to this masterpiece, and cannot capture the energy, love, and heart exuding from it.
This KaizenTao “Bottle of Life” perfectly symbolizes the spirit and essence of KaizenTao. It features, dancers, martial artists, and athletes moving passionately through the mediums of dance, martial arts, and self-expression.
On the front is a strong and exquisite tree, with gorgeous branches growing in all directions. This illustrates my wonderful students’ Continual Growth and our appreciation for all source of knowledge, as we remain open to whatever life brings our way. On a technical level, it reveals how we draw and issue power in multi-directional, and multi-faceted ways.
At the base of the tree is my school full of respectful, courteous and attentive students holding hands in unity and friendship. This shows how cohesive and synergistically they work in propping up and encouraging one another to succeed and overcome.
The handle has our KaizenTao Kanji, which Avril did an impeccable job of replicating Yoshihito Shibata Sensei’s famous calligraphy. It is at the handle to show how firmly we hold as a family of sincere seekers, while pouring forth to share our knowledge.
The piece de resistance is our motto “The Path to Continual Growth” is written in sanskrit.
The last time I was given a bottle this fascinating was in Haiti. This is a special Voodoo bottle Haitians use for ceremonies.
Thank you to Avril and The Mendoncas. I’m deeply honored and grateful. Namaste!
Enjoy your Path!
For anyone interested in sipping from this “Bottle of Life”, I’ll be teaching in Europe and Asia in the upcoming months. Please message me early to schedule private classes. Time is limited and I book up fast while on location. Thanks and hope to see you soon!
