"This magic moment" was an old Jay and the Americans song.

I tend to help people be aware. When you are happy and into what you are doing, how busy are you inside your head? Not much, if at all. Now, when you are angry, stressed, depressed, etc., etc., etc., how busy are you inside your head? Totally. We don't have to do anything to be happy, we have to do soemthing to be miserable. And what we do is in our heads.

Often when training, we get so externally absorbed in what we are doing that we lose that internal orientation. This is the best way to find the "flow", "zone", "mushin", or whatever label you want to put on it. SO, get an external focus of awareness, soft fouc the eyes by just looking through without trying to focus on any one thing, relax, breath, and enjoy yourself.

Weird? Yes, thank goodness.

Until again,

Lynn

We do not rise to the level of our expectations, but fall to the level of our training. Train well. KWATZ!
