Self-Defense: Flowing Fun Beats Sour Seriousness

Betelgeuse-Star-(Hubble)-is-like-TaijiIt’s true.

And if you’ve experience Flow, you know.

However you discovered it, do it more because it provokes a deeper kind of awareness…an awe of the energies and mysteries that surround us.

It’s likely that, partly as a response to the great terrors that lurk deep inside the truth of being human and partly as a response to the amazing relief and sensuality hidden in any simple motion — giggling, laughter, or great guffaws begin to emerge from one who connects with the Great Flow.

Or Taiji.

Or whatever you want to call that Awe-filled experience.

Here’s a way to get there: use drills. And when you drill your drills look for 3 simple things to provoke that awesome flowing Taiji-y experience.

The next short show shows you how.

Drilling Drills the Taiji Way

Here’s the 3 Things to Do:

  1. Create Win-Win and Win-Win Scenarios.
  2. Flow.
  3. Discover Fun.

Obviously, there’s 3 Things to Not-Do too:

  1. Don’t Have a Loser.
  2. Don’t Stop-Start the Drill (if you go back to 1 technique at-a-time visions).
  3. Don’t Be So Serious, Fool!

See that’s not so hard. The part that requires some toughness? Time. Keep it going for some time, until you break habits and shatter the shroud of sour self-defense seriousness.
