well, I hope that everyone is having a wonderful first day of Spring Break, and that everyone is enjoying their time wherever they have traveled to and enjoy being away from school. I am having a blast being at home, working on homework, and such. More than anything else, I am enjoying just not having to do anything.
Remember not to get lazy and practice a little each day or for the regular amount of time every other day. Remember to stretch, practice techniques, do all of the forms you know, and meditate. With that said if you know nothing about meditating, here are some things that you can practice to help you meditate more effectively. 1) Go to a quiet place in your house (or if it’s warm enough outside of your house). 2) Sit in a cross-legged position or lay flat on the ground. 3) Practice the breathing techniques you have learned. If you haven’t learned any breathing techniques, then just breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, and relax your body. 4) While you are breathing, imagine yourself doing your techniques, forms, etc. in your mind. Think of how it would look like if someone else would be watching you. Put yourself in a third person point-of-view. This is really important if you plan on going to tournament since you will be presenting in front of judges that are first-degree black belts and above. What will they think of when they see your stuff? Kuk Sa Nim spoke about doing this type of “workout” daily. Your mind and your body have to be focused. Martial Arts isn’t just about the techniques and forms you know, it is about how your mind and your body are connected when you are doing your techniques and forms.
Those are some tips for meditating. I definitely recommend everyone try it out at least once. Continue practicing your forms and think of improving them every time you do them. Remember low stances, higher kicks, faster hands, and then put it all together.
Hope everyone continues to enjoy break. Stay healthy and out of jail!
