– Testing out this idea for community and gaming. Now that the core website is ready, we can move to more games!
I won’t be allowed to win this game, but I wanted to submit a thought I recently had. It was the idea that I was doing this long before I was a performer. When I first discovered nunchaku, I took a week off from work, literally sat in my room the whole time and spun nunchaku. It was amazing…I was hooked.
The same is now. Even if I wasn’t doing this professionally, I’d still be spinning. Even if no one else cared for my spinning, I’d still be spinning. Spinning is my zen.
Music and flow go hand in hand with me. It’s not that I need music playing in the background (although it probably helps) and it’s not even that I have a particular song in my head while spinning, it’s more so the emotional connection I’ve had with any and all music being played out in physical form. I almost want to compare it to drumming. ..but not. Because in my head I’m an amazing drummer! but put me in front of a drum set and,well..not so much ☺ but I imagine it’s like that
Sometimes I flow better if I close my eyes or don’t focus too hard on what I’m doing. It’s like how you’ll spill a cup of water you’re holding if you look at it as you walk.
Unfocusing my eyes so that everything is blurred has out my flow up to a new level.
A zen state chuck flow.
distractions no more as i dont see anything but the feel and flow
Spinning has helped me reach, what I like to call, “Conscious Unconsciousness”. That is, much like any skill, you have to Counsciously practice it over and over until it becomes imprinted onto your muscles memory. Then, one day you’ll be able to let go of the consciousness (actively trying) and Flow into that Unconscious state (simply doing in absolute presence)…that Zen if you will.
Bigger realization, not many people have felt that (“Zen”) sensation ever in their lives! And that’s a weight that could lead to depression, anxiety, and range of mental & emotional trauma.
I’m going to go ahead and extend it a little longer, to get more people involved. I’m just really interested in hearing what revelations people have when they are in their zone.
My hole life has had martial expressions as my primary meditative state. I’ve been into weaponry before I was a teen. Everything I have learned has made me who I have become. These last 2 years have proven to me more so then any other time in my life that this art is part of my soul and a language that expresses the serpressed emotions most the time I barely even know are there. By spinning and moving with all the art I’ve learned i feel the emotions flow out allowing me to see my life and what really matters. The muse that takes over my thoughts. It’s like you can hear the univers talk to me.
