About Ian Ayre

Spent his formative years influenced by the Yorkshire 'Dales' countryside few neighbours. As a small child he remembers the harmony created by groups of capable skilled hard working people minding the fields carefully, safe and gently with machines and by hand. Many where trained land army from WW2.
During the abundance of the harvest a harmony is evident where community still gathers unspoiled by satellite navigation guides and business, probably the more genuine celebratory time 'check out' the market.
There was more community during those early years, everyone would go to Chapel for a song, prayer and after for those who were not tea total possibly a beer. Like Gospel music, sometimes very funny singing from some real characters in their Sunday best! Accompaniment being a foot pumped harmonium. The 'tremendous spirit' reward for the previous work preparing weeding, irrigating seeding and fertilizing.
The earth where, after all, our original 'creative energy' springs from.

After art school and as a touring musician life became a none stop 'train' lifestyle accompanied by various professionally prescribed medicines, prescribed without advice or knowledge of the side effects which took their toll. No known medical diagnosis for the resulting condition, severe weight loss, depleted energy levels covered in psoriasis. Ian slowly and carefully realized the childhood lifestyle of yoga/Calisthenics practised and received from his father as a child became much more important than anything else.
Combine the effect of natural energy finding your recycle frequency
enhanced with clean water, good food, love, laughter and exercise.
A different high not without it's dangers as some practices need guidance.
Ian realised essentially we need to actively culture a peaceful quality life!

Enter 'Budo' - Japanese Martial Arts, with hard training Ian found his own way to transcend energy as the reader can too. Your own cellular activity.
Budo started at the Budokwai in Fulham London, the The premier Judo dojo in Europe established in 1914 officially. After an injury trying Judo and at the time feeling too tall for Aikido he decided on the Karate path. He was moved to the Chief Instructor Sensie Enoda's Karate dojo at Marshal street baths Soho in London training regularly from 1979 to 1985. During this time Ian was introduced to Sensie Kawasoie at the Earls Court dojo. Sensei Kawasoi was developing a more none political traditional style of Karate. The early seminars were held at Edinbrugh University, Scotland which Ian attended. Where he was also introduced to Reflexology as the Scottish Reflexology Society where having their seminar on campus. Karate is something you can do safely after school or during university ideally, one can start at any age with this style. At the Earls Court London dojo Ian was also introduced to Sensei Kanetska, Aikido instructor. Many things happened at the dojo, it was shared with dance schools, Meditation with the long staff called 'Shintaido' and Shiatsu, drama rehearsals, badminton and a nursery. The Catholic Church eventually closed everything and turn it into a soup kitchen.
The surrounding work shops and creative areas have also disappeared under construction sites.
Ian says: 'There is always something we don't know, we can be sure of that'.

Receiving instruction from many different sources for Shiatsu - Reflexology, Traditional Thai Massage - Acupuncture - Colour Therapy and the Universal Healing Tao! With a little help from friends, fellow musicians, guides, human angels, hard and soft lessons indeed. Ian recovered enough to let you know laughter is an all important part of living healthy. So smile and think a happy thought then make the next thought a happy one. It's much better to be gentle and actively peaceful although in todays market it can be very tough. Pass it on! What you can't use, or have plenty of, some person can use hopefully.
If you can't sing whistle, if you can't whistle wear a big hat!
Have some fun!
