Thought Based Awareness vs. Balanced Awareness - MOVE BETTER THIS SKILL!

"You Don't Need To Ask The Mind For A Second Opinion" - Loch Kelly

When it comes to improving movement, we are really trying to retrain the way our body uses information from our senses to produce a movement output.

If we narrowed it down to an equation it would be something like:

INPUT x PROCESSING = OUTPUT

Now when it comes to this equation, we will need to enhance the effort in the processing phase to achieve an output if the input is unreliable or poor.

This is the same concept that would apply to recording a song.

If the audio material you record sucks, you are going to have to work really hard to get it to sound like a song.

On the other hand, if we can balance the inputs right at the source, we barely need to apply any processing power and the output will be effortlessly brilliant.

Now when it comes to our senses, we have certain modes of awareness that keep us in our mind, identified with thoughts, and certain modes which allow us to relax the mind and get into our bodies.

If we look at thought as a 6th sense, rather than as the sense through which all inputs must pass, we can choose to relax thought in favor of our other senses.

In doing this, we are able to purely experience sensation without superimposing our belief structure.

In doing this, we are able to integrate sensory experiences at a subconscious level with much more ease, which ultimately makes it easier for changes to stick and for us to effortlessly do our movement-based activities without need for constantly referencing thought.

In this video, we discuss how to shift first from a vision and thought-based sensory dominance, to a balanced awareness in the head, then finally to an embodied awareness that allows head-based senses to stay online but become balanced with embodied sensation.
