Meditation – Mindfulness

Warriors Tune In to their Energy Source – Warriors learn to treasure their peaceful daily meditations as a source of strength. If you allow the pool of your mind to settle, you will be able to see deeply. I prefer eyes-closed meditation. Concentrate on slow deep breaths. If a thought jumbles past, think the word, “Clear”. Keep breathing. Keep clearing. You will feel rooted to the soil, grounded on the earth. The energy will start to flow through you.

Warriors Stay Focused – Split focus – sometimes called “multi-tasking” – is the fashion for a reason, and the reason is to diminish your power. If you focus your full attention on anything or anyone, you will begin to feel the power flow between you and this object/idea/person. This is scary at first, but you will get used to it. People flourish under this attention and the connections that are made last forever.

Warriors are Mindful – Understanding the power of the Now is your warrior strength. You are entirely here, entirely present in this moment. There will be time, alone with your Training Journal, to savor the past and call upon the future, but for this moment you know how to be entirely present in the Now. It is unbelievably powerful. It feels like Love.
