Removing the Physical and Mental Obstacles to Internal Skill
A companion for before, during and after practice. Investigate the ideas, explore three physical challenges and record what you can reproduce independently.
Let capability
lead the practice.
The purpose of training is to become more capable. Our approach asks you to investigate your own results, remain open to better explanations and keep refining what you can do.
- Investigate what is happening.
- A familiar feeling does not establish that the underlying mechanism is the same. Look for what your current explanation may miss.
- Refine beyond current limits.
- Notice unnecessary tension, change something specific and retest. An improvement can become the beginning of further integration.
- Develop independent learners.
- Test what remains without the teacher. Help one another learn, challenge explanations and become capable peers.
Don’t build a pedestal.
Build peers.
Sometimes you help someone over the wall. Sometimes they help you. The capacity to learn is something we pass onward.
