ServicesAthletic PerformanceAthletes deal in energy more directly than most people. You train your body, your ears, your eyes, your reflexes and your mind for performance. Physical training is so important. But it isn’t enough. Just like artists, successful athletes need to get out of their own way. Whether you’re performing at a professional level, a scratch level or a just-fooling-around level, all of the technique and training in the world can’t help if you aren’t in the moment, in the game, in the rhythm. Imagine what it would be like to get out of your head. Imagine what it would feel like to uncork that pitch and have it sink exactly where you intend it to sink. Imagine running down the field and reaching back to grab that ball easily, and then turning to run another 30 yards in spite of all the people trying to tackle you. Imagine stepping onto the green without fear. Imagine making the putt and seeing your golf score drop by five strokes. The Energy of Projected Perfectionis something you can eliminate. The little league coach, the image of the perfect shot, the dream of a walk-off home run, the sound of someone else’s perfect shot – all this and more can get in your head and mess with your energy.Energy Empowerment work can help you get rid of that baggage so you are free to run, hit, jump and play – exactly as you prepared to be able to do. |
MORE LIGHT. . .A Cleveland Clinic study about exercise has proven that actually working out strengthens muscles (in this study, specifically, the biceps). No surprise there. Here’s the surprising study result: Sending the INTENTION to work out, but without actually lifting a weight, also strengthens muscles. Those who physically worked out ended up strengthening their biceps by 30 percent. Those who sent active intention to their biceps to become stronger saw a 15 percent improvement in their strength. Those who did and intended nothing saw no change. There’s no question but that actually doing the work made the greatest difference. At the same time, the data shows irrefutable evidence that active intention can change your athletic performance. You already knew that intuitively, didn’t you? The days you tell yourself you can lift bigger weights, you do. The days you tell yourself that you’re too tired to work out, you can accomplish even less than you hoped. Experiencing active intention, and knowing how to use it deliberately, is a skill as powerful as anything you’ll train for in the gym or on the field. Check it out! |
