The first thing that you need to understand is that everything in our bodies can be controlled by visualization. But there is a leap of faith that must happen before you can actually do these things. The minute you think "this is stupid" or "this can't possibly work" it won't. I am working on a golf version Of my book 'The Art of Getting Out Of Your Own Way", which is about exercising control over your levels of excitement.
Here is the first exercise. (we will add one exercise or two a week until the series is complete)
Lie on your back on the floor. Put a HEAVY book, such as an unabridged dictionary on your stomach. Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth so that the book raises and lowers without your chest rising and falling. This is the proper way to breath. As you do this and it becomes more and more natural, focus on how your breath feels going in and out of your lungs. The key is FOCUS on this, to the exclusion of all other sensations.
When you can do this without the book as a guide, and do it on demand, let me know and we will do stage 2.
By the Way, this is a GREAT way to get yourself to fall asleep at night if you are having trouble with that. It is a major relaxation exercise.
FWIW, when I was in 'Nam and firing a rifle at long distances (1000-1200 yds), I learned to fire in between my heart beats, because otherwise your pulse will throw your aim off. So bear with me, what I am talking about here REALLY works. It would be better if we could sit and work through these exercises together, but unless you all want to show up in Hemet for a seminar, that is unlikely
Lemme know when you have this down cold, and we will continue.
