She was a first female baseball player in Japanese history to be drafted. At 155 centimeter tall and 56 kilograms, Eri was only a 16 year old high school student. Her dream was to be just like Boston Red Sox’ pitcher and knuckle ball thrower Tim Wakefield . If she can be just like Tim Wakefield she can hold down boys by knuckle ball throws. Even though her dream was big she never thought she would be the first girl to be drafted to all male baseball team in Japan.<br /> What a dream she had! What an insight she had!

The “Knuckle Princess” Eri Yoshida made her decision to be a professional baseball<br /> player and join a man’s world when she was only thirteen years old after seeing Wakefield throw a “knuckle” ball. That pitch is also known as “devil” ball because it’s so hard to hit.</p> <p>And Eri knew if she could master what Tim Wakefield did, she could compete with boys as a knuckle ball pitcher. Then Eri thought of a new knuckle ball technique and taught herself to throw it using her own style. She grips the ball with three fingers and her thumb, but doesn’t use her pinky finger. She pitched it at least 50 times every day in her basement training room. Five years later, her decision to throw like Tim Wakefield led to a USA debut with Chico Outlaws / Golden Baseball League. What a gutsy decision! What a powerful life force energy she carried! Even though I have very little knowledge of baseball. I am very impressed by her mindset in causing her own success. It’s not just about baseball. She’s an example of a great way of being. </p> <p>What about you?

Eri is powerful enough to be scouted by a Golden Baseball League and picked up from a Japanese team. It was only two years ago when she was 16 and in high school when she was scouted as the 1st female to play pro ball in Japanese history. How fast is that for a little girl to be promoted to USA team? Eri was taught baseball by her older brother as well as being inspired and encouraged by Tim Wakefield’s knuckleball throw. Eri decided she could make it as a baseball player if she could master the knuckleball like Tim Wakefield. Now Eri Yoshida’s knuckleball pitching is getting more attention than her older brother who is a professional baseball player in Japan. A reporter who traveled with her commented that Eri Yoshida is a gutsy, independent girl who goes at her own pace.<br /> Eri commented, “ I am grateful for this opportunity to pitch for the Chico Outlaws. This is a dream come true for me, and I hope I can contribute to the team and help them win as I continue to improve as a pro baseball player”.<br /> What a courageous soul! Eri is a polite young girl who is well grounded. I see her as a strong life force with a bright smile and gutsy determination. Imagine, how many young girls are inspired by Eri’s action! Go Eri! Go!<br /> Watch out for this powerful knuckleballer young girl in Golden Baseball League!</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Wakefield">http://www.goldenbaseball.com/chico/</a></p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Wakefield">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Wakefield</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Innovative Vision- Life Force Space</h1> <p>kyyoyo — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 18:31:45 +0000</p> <p><strong>Innovative Vision-Life Force Space</strong><br /> <strong>Ramen Noodle</strong><br /> Recently I watched a program on Japanese TV and was intrigued by the owner’s philosophy/mindset. Traditionally a Japanese Ramen noodle shop is greasy, dirty, smelly, with uncomfortable chairs and loud TV played in Japan. Ramen noodles are not a health food. Their shops were favored mostly by older men and owned by older stubborn men. One passionate committed Japanese restaurateurs innovative vision changed that image of the old ramen noodle shops. He acknowledged that the women were intimidated to go there even though they wanted to eat at such a place. Now his shops are so successful. There are 37 shops in different cities in Japan and making millions more profit than others. 40% are women clients and 40% of the workers are women. You might say most of the concepts are similar to others:<br /> -Clean shop with wooden furniture with rocks giving a grounded feeling<br /> -Colorful dishes on an orderly decorated counter give an aesthetic and appetizing appeal<br /> - Modern Jazz music to set a trendy style<br /> -The kitchen is meticulously organized bringing calm Zen like minds for the workers<br /> -The owner trained each worker to be as an actor on the theater stage playing out their gift of who they are. Each worker must be expressive and gives each person attention with power and sincere hospitality.<br /> -The emphasis is in creating a noodle soup cooked in gourmet style with much affection and gratitude. They will provide a joyful space greeted by energetic, cheerful, smiling workers.<br /> You might say this is not particularly special, yet what is special is that the owner has made a clear intention to transmute joyful healing power by trained workers! So everyone who eats there goes home with powerful life force energy and all around their neighbors and whoever walks by feels and receives the warm healing energy from the shop. Are you curious? There is one shop in New York City. Would you like to experience that feeling your self?</p> <p>www.ippudo.com/</p> <p>http://www.ippudo.com/ny/</p> </article> <article> <h1>Emei Qigong Grandmaster Fu Is Back In San Diego</h1> <p>kyyoyo — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 17:59:33 +0000</p> <p><strong>Emei Qigong Grandmaster Fu Is Back In San Diego</strong><br /> <strong>Grandmaster Fu’s powerful life force energy</strong></p> <p><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7YVcjDk_MaI&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p> <p><strong>www.kayokoyoshikai.com</strong></p> <p>Emei qigong grandmaster Fu is back in San Diego from China for a few workshops. Grandmaster Fu comes to San Diego once a year in the spring time, it is always wonderful to have him back. These days he comes to teach the advanced higher-level workshops only, unless there’s no trained Emei qigong instructor available in some of the other parts of the US, then he teaches other classes as well. After all, he has been teaching for about 50 years now and he is ready to retire. Is he really that old? Well, Grandmaster Fu has been practicing and training in Chinese medicine since he was 12 years old. He wants to hand down his knowledge to people who are serious about Emei qigong and will learn and carry the knowledge on to the next lineage. Grandmaster Fu is the 13th Lineage Holder of Emei qigong. We are the 14th lineage students.<br /> Mission Bay was not exactly sunny on Sunday morning. Very breezy and cold, yet it felt great! I was not the only one who felt Grandmaster Fu’s powerful life force energy (qi, chi, ki) during Emei qigong practice. What a difference his presence makes! Grandmaster Fu has few characters and he waived and he flashed me a “Peace” sign when he saw me walk up to him with my Flip video camera. Few people saw it and giggled. It is something we did not expect from a well-known Chinese Medical Buddha. In China, he often lives in a secluded mountain for months on end and goes down to the big city once in a while. First thing he asked me “Camera?” I said “ No! It is a video”. He is a very curious and brilliant man who likes to keep up with the current times.<br /> Join us for next Sunday morning Emei qigong with grandmaster Fu!</p> <p><a href="http://www.emeiqigong.us/">http://www.emeiqigong.us/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.zenhealing-emeiqigong.com/">www.zenhealing-emeiqigong.com/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.sandiegoqigong.com/">http://www.sandiegoqigong.com/</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Skydiving World Champion Mindset # Fifth</h1> <p>kyyoyo — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 18:25:47 +0000</p> <p><strong>Skydiving World Champion Mindset # Fifth</strong><br /> <strong>Lesson with Gratitude</strong><br /> Extraordinary man Giles Fabris</p> <p><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ic3GaUUdaCM&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param></object></p> <p><strong>www.kayokoyoshikai.com</strong><br /> Giles Fabris was a British National Skydiving Champion and a record holder in the Guinness World Book of Records for skydiving. </p> </article> <article> <h1>Skydiving World Champion Mindset # Fourth</h1> <p>kyyoyo — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 00:29:57 +0000</p> <p><strong>Skydiving World Champion Mindset # Fourth</strong><br /> <strong>Car Accident</strong><br /> Extraordinary man Giles Fabris</p> <p>ject width=”480″ height=”385″> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q0bovOAJgCM&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param></object></p> <p><strong>www.kayokoyoshikai.com</strong></p> <p>Giles Fabris was a British National Skydiving Champion and a record holder in the Guinness World Book of Records for skydiving.<br /> Giles only had one skydiving malfunction incident over 7,000 parachute jumps.<br /> Parachuting from an airplane 10 to 20 times a day, jumping with a team 40 to 50 people takes a lot of energy, concentration, dedication and determination. There’s no other sport like sky surfing. One simple mistake could cost you your own or other people’s lives. Decisiveness is a major requirement.<br /> So was he fortunate? Was he lucky? Yes, he was both. And it shows how he focused and disciplined his mind for 15 years during his skydiving carrier. Giles was like a rock star of professional skydiving, traveling all over the world and enjoying his star status. I believe the universe handed him a lucky charm when he was able to put his fear aside and make his first jump to help raise funds for adult Down syndrome organization in England. And the rest of the story is he became a World Champion Skydiver and made it to the Guinness World Book of Records.<br /> And one day his skydiving carrier came to an end as a result of a car accident during which he sustained a broken neck. He went through many challenges, lived through the accident and recovered well. He already had a great mindset to begin with. What a story?! Giles still loves adventure and he’s still a fearless person. His injury has not stopped him from enjoying other sports, like snowboarding.<br /> Could he compel you to change your life story?

As soon as we think we took care of the fear monster and put it behind us, something new creeps up, or our very creative minds start imagining new things and creating new monsters. It’s a never-ending process. Giles suggests taking action everyday to be able to get over our fears. It is easy for him to say since he is an elite athlete who achieved a world championship level and he is in the Guinness World Book of Records. Yet, it took so much discipline, focus, as well as envisioning over and over a perfect jump, for him to get to where he is now. Also, he was part of a group of 40-50 people who demonstrated a great teamwork and synergy during their jumps. Can you imagine that? It must be contagious when you hang out with bunch of crazy and brave souls. As a result they traveled to many countries and had a lot of fun.<br /> Does Giles make your life seem boring? Maybe it is your time to come out of your hermit shell and explore yourself! </p> <p>This is a Giles recommendation video, although he is not in this 400 people jumping together.</p> <p><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/74zhNxgFkTQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param></object></p> </article> </main></body></html>
