“A couple of simple exercises can make this mental dimension easier to see. I don’t want to claim any more for these exercises than they warrant. But it’s hard to appreciate just how much difference a change in mental intention can make to our physical performance without experimenting a little with changes in mind and seeing what changes they make to the body. And it’s just such experimentation that can start a line of personal enquiry that can lead, through an art like aikido, to a much more profound awareness of what mental awareness means in practical, physical terms.”
