Everyday Reminders
So, what sort of things are you reminding yourself often on the mat during your everyday training these days?

Hips; down
Hips; down find hips and down in a technique, and it works much more smoothly Oh, and don't stare at your hands or uke And keep your head up... |
Re: Everyday Reminders
"hips guides the feet, head guides the hands", center, breathing, extension.

Re: Everyday Reminders
Well I like to put things in their proper perspective, so when facing an uke off the mat (as well as on the mat) I tend to focus on the wave/particle theory of light, how light is effected by black holes (and visa-versa), that black holes are spinning, compressing and expanding at the speed of light, along with the all important cosmic pulse of the universe and how things are effected by the echo it creates. However if I had to sum it up into words that I could pass along, I would say these few are pretty good:
"I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly. I'm crying" . |
Re: Everyday Reminders
Usually I just feel bouncy like tigger and there isnīt much space in my head for anything apart from "gosh, this is SO MUCH FUN!!!!"
If I give my endorphines a break for a sec then I try to remind myself to relax and feel uke. |
