当時、教育を学んでいた私にとって、相互運動くらい興味をそそられる対象はなかった。書物の中の「学ぶ者と教える者の共同作業としての教育」という理念に惹かれていたものの、実際のところ、何をどうすれば、そうなるのか、暗中模索の状態にいた。人間関係を意識と意識の関係としか見ていなかったのだから当然かもしれない。そんな私にとって、二人で行うことで、活元運動が深くなり、しかも、必ずしも、前－受ける人、後－させる人とはならない相互運動を体験することは一大発見だった。相手を動かそうと意識的に力を使えば反発が生まれ、運動も不自然になる。かといって、対等な関係に身を置きながら、相手の中の自発性を妨げることなく誘発することもできる。まさに、理想的な教育形態の雛型を発見したような興奮があった。私にとって、人と人を結ぶ「気」の発見である。

Katugen Mutual exerecise as a Basic Form of Learning
As a student of education at the time, there was no subject more intriguing to me than Sogo Undo - mutual movement. Although I was attracted to the idea of "education as a collaboration between learners and teachers" in books, I was still in the dark about how to make it happen. Perhaps this was inevitable, since I saw human relationships only as relationships between consciousness. It was a great discovery for me to experience mutual Katsugen Undo, where the Katsugen movement deepens when two people work together, and also does not necessarily mean that the person sitting in front is the passive person and the person sitting behind is the active person. If you consciously use force to move the other person, you will create a repulsive action in him, and the movement will become unnatural. On the other hand, we can induce spontaneity in the other person without interfering with it, while keeping ourselves in an equal relationship. It was truly an exciting experience, as if I had discovered a fundamental form of learning in education. For me, it was the discovery of the "ki" that connects people.
