Studies have shown that a small amount of stress in human beings causes a release of chemicals in the brain that can actually enhance performance. Unfortunately, there is a fine line between stress and anxiety, and once that line is crossed the benefits of stress disappear and performance decreases significantly. This is why athletes of all types should make stress management an important part of their training regime.
Martial artists of ancient times were experts in stress management and their incredible feats of athleticism are legendary. How did they do it?
To create a disciplined mind, capable of regulating stress and anxiety, they first disciplined their bodies. And a disciplined body started with disciplined breathing. Zazen meditation has been used for centuries as a tool to discipline the breath, the body, and the mind.
M.L. Cerpok has been practicing and teaching Zazen breathing discipline for thirty years. He has been studying and teaching the connection between disciplined breathing and effortless action for nearly twenty years. Let this knowledge become your competitive advantage!
