Through training the body and the mind, one learns to harness and move in harmony with the Flow that is ever-present in and around us. This Flow is limitless and infinite.
When we move against the flow, more units of energy must be used to carry out a single act. When we move with the flow, actions manifest "effortlessly". Our units of energy are freed up to be used wisely and cost-effectively for other activities, such as increasing calm, equanimity, awareness, and the understanding of the myriad choices we can make in life.
Through training Body-Mind Flow one gains facility over how to link one's energy network to the mechanics of the body, thereby finding expression for the limitless and joyous power of the mind - and no-mind!

Within Canada
JCCC Foundation Japan Earthquake Relief Fund
The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre has created a special, dedicated disaster relief fund within its Foundation to aid victims of the Tohoku Kanto earthquake in Japan.
JCCC is taking direction for the Japanese consulate in term of how to direct funds. At present funds are going to the Japanese Red Cross through the Canadian Red Cross.
The Japanese Red Cross has 2 distinct funds – one is for victims, the other is a more general fund for damages, clean-up etc. The JCCC will continue to take direction from Japan. If, as the tragedy evolves, another specific need in Japan arises, we will respond accordingly.
