無心 (mu-shin) “no-mind” or “nothingness mind”

A Japanese calligraphy artwork. The writing means "nothingness mind".

An important concept in meditation and martial arts.

If you have mu-shin, your mind is free from thoughts, desires and assumptions.

As the Buddhist nun Reverend Jiyu-Kennett once said: “It’s nothing… but it’s the fullest kind of nothing there ever was!”

When your mind is clear, and you are free from ego and can act naturally and spontaneously.
