The Trap of Being Too Conscious of Logic: The Moment "Correctness" Takes a Toll on the Body
shotarokimijima
We are told to "stay in the right posture," "put your mind here," and "move like this."
Such "logic" and "correct answers" can somehow cling to our bodies like a curse.
But haven't you experienced this too?
I was too conscious of it, and it was awkward and painful."
Too much logical thinking causes the body to "strain".
The more strongly you focus on logic or the correct answer to a movement, the more you lose the natural flow of
your body and focus only on "there".
- The more you think, "Let's be aware of the axis," the more your hips and back stiffen.
- Thinking too much about "protecting the knee" causes excessive force to be exerted only on the knee.
- Deciding to "look straight ahead" stiffens the neck and shoulders.
Burdens that should normally be distributed throughout the body are "squeezed" together in one place, leading to unintentional tension, pain, and discomfort.
Doing one's best for the best of one's intentions" can cause illness.
Often, what you think you are doing your best to do leads to
-muscle pain
-chronic pain
-giggle backs and knee pain
.
This is due to the **"concentration load "** created by the awareness of chasing logic and correct answers.
The importance of BUSHIN DEREKI™ from "logic to feeling"
At Busshin Dereki™,
we utilize logic and correct answers as "triggers" and "hints," but
we ultimately leave it to "feeling."
- From "thinking while moving" to "feeling while moving
- Take a "huff" once in the middle of the work
- 'Is there any strength in any part of me right now?' Ask yourself
- Pain and discomfort are "important messages from the body."
- Have the courage to "not force the right answer.
Summary
Logic and correctness may be a "trigger" to guide the body, but they are not an "answer.
It is at such moments when the body is truly in alignment
"pull out, flow, and surrender with the whole body"
"surrender to the senses"
.
When you are suffering from discomfort or pain,
try to find your own "comfort" without being bound by logic.
Your body will tell you the answer.
