Will and Willingness

In beautiful movement a balance is always struck between doing and non-doing, acting and allowing;between thinking and permitting your intrinsic intelligence to have its say. For this to come about we have to enjoy not knowing and be able to quietly observe the unfolding of our actions. It is a delicate dance that begins with your willingness to first pay gentle attention to the present and then let fly.

"One does not consciously have to plan how to act; instead one lets the appropriate responses happen of themselves. This is one of the great inner secrets of sports. There is a certain point of unity within the self that the conscious mind and will cannot direct. Command by instinct is swifter, subtler, deeper, more accurate, more in touch with reality than command by conscious mind."

Michael Murphy
In the Zone

"When once you are free from all seeming, from all craving and lusting, then will you move of your own impulse, without so much as knowing that you move."

Lao Tsu
