A practice you can carry into every part of your life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of us were taught that getting what we want means pushing harder: more effort, more grit, more force. Yet the strongest martial artists and meditators Jeff Patterson has trained with over more than 37 years share a quieter secret. They know how to yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the meditative and martial arts, yielding is not giving up. It is the skill of staying relaxed but alert, meeting pressure without tensing against it, and redirecting force instead of fighting it.  The Yielding Warrior  takes this ancient principle off the training mat and into everyday life: your work, your relationships, your sport, and the noise inside your own head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on Daoist wisdom, stories from his own teachers, and lessons from the more than 26,000 students he has taught at his Portland academy, Jeff offers a clear and practical path. Inside, you will discover: Why soft really means relaxed but alert, and how that makes you better at any sport or physical activity Simple resets, some just two minutes long, to quiet mental noise and come back to the present How to stay steady and clear when emotions run high, in conversation and under pressure Breathing and standing meditation practices you can begin today, with no experience required How to set down what you have been carrying and learn to enjoy the process of growth Whether you practice Tai Chi, Qigong, or Jiu-Jitsu, or have never set foot in a dojo, this book will show you how the art of yielding can make you calmer, clearer, and stronger from the inside out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the author:  Jeff Patterson has trained in the meditative and martial arts for more than 37 years.
