Episode 35: The Spirituality of Aikido and Metrics for Growth - a podcast by Budo: The Way of the Warrior Podcast

In this episode, recorded in studio, Valadez Sensei answers a listener's request to speak on the question of, "How do we measure growth in Aikido?" Valadez Sensei begins this discussion by repeating his structural breakdown of the training equation and by outlining key signs for growth (consistency, capacity, depth, and dispersion). Additionally, Valadez Sensei goes on to discuss Osensei's highest ideals for the art, the pairing of the experience of Divine Communion (reconciling the self/non-self dichotomy)and the spontaneous enactment of Divine Communion (Takemusu Aiki).
