Thinking about the moment of battle produces all sorts of thoughts, sensations, and emotions. We can try to suppress them, but ultimately trying to keep them down is like trying to push a beach ball below the surface of water. The thoughts, sensations, and emotions all keep popping up no matter how hard we try to suppress them. And the act of suppression only makes the water more turbulent.
What if instead we re-oriented ourselves toward these experiences? What would it be like to approach them with pure presence?
Some weird thoughts and reflections on all of these things in this week's BJJ Meditations.
