All in all, I think having to maintain a balanced mental/physical state under pressure, puts you in the zone, a place that people inherently understand is beyond the norm. Being able to flush the cares of the world and go there...by choice...is truly one of lifes pleasures. it is definitely not unique to Aikido practice, try going all out with Swords and Naginatas wizzing at your head in a prolonged ninety step kory kata, and you will understand the idea of the zone in a different art! People find it in different activities, some people look for increased pressure to maintain it within, but I have a hunch everyone is still experiencing that same state of being.

I do it on the boat - actually, I do most things on the boat nowadays since I spend most of my time there due to retirement

However, today I am home and have to go Zone myself with yard work
