Richard L. Haight is an instructor of meditation, healing and martial arts, and he is the author of The Unbound Soul: A Spiritual Memoir for Personal Transformation and Enlightenment. He began his path of awakening at age eight when he made a solemn promise in a vision to dedicate his life to enlightenment and to share what he found with the world. He took his first steps towards that promise at age 12 when he began formal martial arts training.

At the age of 24, Richard moved to Japan to advance his training with masters of the sword, staff and jujutsu. During his 15 years living in Japan, Richard was awarded masters licenses in four samurai arts as well as a traditional healing art called Sotai-ho.

Throughout his life, Richard has had a se

I loved being there when I was there, and I love being in America now that I am here. I guess I just love being where I am, which is nice.

The most challenging thing about living in Japan, for me, was difficulties in communication. It took me a number of years to get to a point where I could enjoy social life to the fullest with Japanese people who could not speak English.

To anyone thinking of moving there, I would recommend setting aside your original culture and allowing yourself to absorb the native culture as much as possible without going too much into comparisons.

Thank you for asking.(less)

I write purely through inspiration, and so long as I keep my life in balance and present, inspiration comes through unfettered. This makes writing a very enjoyable process, of course!(less)

How to Find Direction, Inspiration and Purpose in Life

by Richard L. Haight

I have been teaching spiritual awakening, meditation and awareness for more than 10 years, and I have noticed many sincere individuals suffer from lack of motivation and inspiration. They often suffer from lack of purpose in life. They have some grand idea that they are supposed to do something powerful in the world, but they have no idea what their specific purpose is. They ar Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Richard L. Haight  (?)

“It entails breaking everything down to such an extent that the only thing left is truth. This is exactly what happened to my life as events occurred to destroy my world and bring me to the precipice of suicide.”
Richard L. Haight, The Unbound Soul: A Spiritual Memoir for Personal Transformation and Enlightenment

“You can find friends who are working for something positive, who have a purpose in life that you respect. You can go to college even if only part-time. Make your life full of positive purpose. You are free to do what you feel is right. Do what you want to do, and be yourself.” It felt as if an angel had spoken through my body. The voice was so clear and full of Rightness that I trusted it completely. Had it been my own thought or the advice of a person, I am sure I would have rejected it. But now I knew I could do whatever I set my mind to if I just kept at it positively.”
Richard L. Haight, The Unbound Soul: A Spiritual Memoir for Personal Transformation and Enlightenment

“Realizing that meditation is about defocusing, I saw that the next step was to simply choose to defocus the mind from the outset. Focusing takes willpower, but defocusing is about relaxation. The secret is to simply relax into the big picture, which creates the effect of calm alertness — the perfect combination for a martial artist. With this insight, I was free of my need for stargazing, because I could relax into the big picture anytime or anywhere — a giant step forward.”
Richard L. Haight, Inspirience: Meditation Unbound: The Unconditioned Path to Spiritual Awakening

“People will react to you as a result of their own mindset, rather than as a reflection of your worth. Most people use others as mirrors for their own darkness. If you have been hurt by such people, perhaps you can use these experiences to become a different kind of person—one who reflects the light within others instead of using them as mirrors. Maybe your experiences of pain can lead you to being a great leader, someone who lights up the world. Your most painful struggle is ripe with opportunity.”
