First of all, most people have a total "Mind-Body" disconnection.
All body functions and messages (like breathing, your heart beat, digestion, etc...) are relayed through the nervous system. Make damn sure it's functioning properly. And why not op
timize it while you're at it. Enter Martial Art Training.
Let's do an experiment. Are you willing to play along with me? If yes, great!
Stand up, move your feet as wide as possible, keep your back straight, bend your knees and make absolutely sure to keep your feet pointing straight ahead, double check.
Did you look down at your feet?
Why?
I was teaching class as I do on a weekly basis, as I'm leading the warm-ups we get into holding a basic leg position, like the one you just did, to strengthen them, I say: "Make sure to keep your toes pointing straight ahead" , half the class looks down at their feet to make sure their toes are pointing straight ahead?".
Do you really need to look at your feet? You don't feel if your feet are pointing straight ahead or not?
I just get funny stuff like that happen sometimes. This is why I especially enjoy blindfolded drills, it forces you to feel everything you do and make corrections according to what you FEEL not what you SEE.
It boils down to Body Awareness. In a world where most people want to disconnect from their mind & body (Ex: Alcohol, drugs, etc...) we try to encourage students to make a stronger connection with both and strive to become more aware of them.
Things like being aware of your Breath.
Or focusing on specific body parts like your little toe on your right foot. Go ahead, do the drill, as you're sitting at your desk reading this, bring all of your attention to your little toe.
Can you really feel it?
Now inhale deeply, and feel the oxygen reach your toe. Now try any other body part. Your left ear, your right hand, your belly button or your left heel. This is the first step to Body Awareness. Our founder would also include this as a progressive relaxation exercise.
Do you think this level of awareness could help an injury? It sure could.
Could it also make you appreciate things more? I hope this makes sense to you.
By being more aware you can learn to enjoy the good things you possess in your life (like your health, the food you eat, or a relationship).
And it can also motivate you to make changes in your lifestyle that you're not happy with (where you live, missing a workout, or your work environment)
