“A treasure has no worth, if it is obtained without duress.
The value is not within the prize, but can be found within the quest”
Tranquilblade –
Tranquil – A state of composer, serenity and calmness
Blade – The edge of a tool designed to perform a desired action
Increase focus – relax and lower stress, burn up to 380 cals per hour
Tranquility of mind is not domination of the mind but rather steering it in a desired direction. This is achieved by using exercises that challenge our perception of reality. These exercises are used in meditation and are also associated with a modern interpretation known as Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).
Many people may find it awkward to meditate in a stationary position; after all trying to relax a restless body can often prove to be counterproductive to the desired task at hand. Meditation in motion is commonly associated with Yoga, Qi gong and Ti Chi. These arts assist by allowing the mind to rest on the physical activity of the forms being practiced by using visualization and breathing techniques.
These techniques ground a practitioner in the here and now.
Tranquilblade is a wellness regime based on the principles of meditation in motion and NLP. The regime uses the generic swords forms of the Southeast Asian archipelagos. Tranquilblade uses the Torqueblades for the regime as the specific design of the blade enhances graceful movement. Blades have been used in forms of meditation for millennia. Many a knight has held a vigil over his garb, armor and Blade.
Certain blades are embedded with religious significance. Throughout history there are stories of blades with magical powers such as:
Excalibur (Uthor Pendragon), Hrunting (Beowoulf), Kusanagi-no-tsurugi (Japanese God – Susanoo), Shashir-e Zomorrodnegar (King Slomon), Sword of Pelus (Greek mythology), Zulfigar (the sword Ali ibn Abu Talib the son in law of Muhammad and the model of Islamic Chivalry), Caladbolg (Fregus mac Rioch), Claimoh Solais (Sword of light – Belonged to Nuada leader of the Tuatha de Dannan) Sword of Freyr (faught on its own) the list is endless. With the blade come – responsibility, honor and respect. All qualities worth meditating on I am sure you will find.
To this day the significance of the blade is still an important one, for example in some cultures blades are presented to young people as a rite of passage into adulthood. The culture of the blade is still alive.
