Introducing the Shoujiki Method Integrity Game. Everything you need to play in full color. Just use a timer and your dice. (You can also purchase 7 8-sided polygon dice in matching belt colors and playing cards) (tm) Patent Pending. Shoujiki is the Japanese word for honesty or a person of integrity. Integrity in the Shoujiki Method is not only honesty, but it's wholeness and strength, like the integrity of a bridge for example. Using a martial arts theme, this method is designed as a conversational workout, building emotional strength and agility. Players graduate from white belt, with a very slim chance of controversy, on up to black belt, which has the highest chance of controversy. (It is not recommended to skip through to higher belt questions until the group is well established.) White belts start with beginner's mind and black belts end with it. This means we assume nothing, and allow for differing opinions. Benefits of The Shoujiki Method: A dojo is a place of martial arts practice. Manners and etiquette there are a priority so that the sensei can help students learn without injury. Our dojo motto was: "Let us have the Universal Spirit that loves and protects all things and helps all things to grow and develop. Wouldn't it be nice if the people decided this? Rather than loving to argue or to be brutally "honest," we would learn dojo etiquette first? What if people gathered together from diverse backgrounds, entering a conversation with courtesy, like a bow of respect? This martial arts theme supports cooperation and prevents escalating conflict. This can bring hope to others for an enjoyable and meaningful conversation while also having a fun. Friendly chibi animals represent the lighthearted, child-like mood necessary to level up, the higher belt questions are not for little ones. The goal is to share honestly, while maintaining good humor, integrity and compassion for differences. Players choose a sensei, (teacher/moderator) someone easy-going, who will award higher belts to players as they progress. As one advances, they keep their rank for the next game, but the questions still begin with a white belt lightness. Using many different kinds of awareness and practices, this method brings attention to how others perceive us, and how we see the world around us, but with a sense of humor as the focus. I remember years ago, for example, when I was a blue belt. My sensei was training us and noticed the serious look on my face as I practiced. To lighten things up he said, "Do the movement again, but this time with your tongue hanging out to the side." My partner and I tried our best to focus on technique without laughing. We also tried not to bite our tongues. The Shoujiki Method is designed to use these awareness practices to take a person to the next level in relationships. Just by listening, we get the mirror we need to see where we are and where we need to go next. Often, throughout the process of game and book creation, I wanted to give up. "It's too hard, it will cause fights," and so on. Then I would feel a spiritual tug on my heart to keep going. In today's high-tech climate, there is something missing. Our increasing polarized opinions are becoming more apparent and separating. We are awakening to the need to gather together in the flesh, in a safe environment of trust and connection. While social media keeps us connected to friends and family in some ways, the Shoujiki Method fills in the gaps of our craving for true relationship and fun.
