Friday's class was much more "imagination" and mind/body based than many others have been. It is really exciting to be at a level where the technical (form) aspects are so solid that we can bring the work to a new level. I believe that the changes Liquid Strength is able to make in our bodies is largely due to the changes in attitudes and awareness of our bodies and our place in them. Every time I teach I am amazed at how foreign some one's body can seem to them. We are so busy in our heads that we forget to be "here and now" and to exist in the present. The words mind/body are so overused that I hesitate to even use them at all. Somehow we have lost our "spirit" in the true sense of the word. I believe it is THAT part of us that belongs between the words 'mind' and "body" but that people are afraid to even say the word. Spirit/soul is so profoundly personal/political/controversial we would rather ignore it all together.
When you strengthen your soul/spirit, you are stronger. Whatever you believe (religion, philosophy etc), I support you in. Faith in anything is magical and powerful and beautiful. Whatever helps you to grow and helps you to be a better human being is perfect. No matter what label someone may call it.

Friday Class was amazing. There was a point when I felt we were all letting our weapons fly together like an organized phalanx of ancient armored heavy infantry.
