The 'Blue Ball' 

Right smack dab in the middle of the head is a balance point.  If awareness is placed there, some fun things happen, things like

  • less eye strain
  • deeper breathing
  • a more released muscle-tone
  • quieter mental talk -- or no 'words' at all!
  • an acceptance of what is
  • easier movement
  • that critic-Gremlin pipes down   

It happens just like the zing happens when you hit your funny bone.

By allowing the blue ball -- it's blue like the blue in your first set of crayons, by allowing the blue ball to find it's way to the very center of your head, you'll get these benefits right away.

Perhaps as you're reading this you can 'see' a blue ball, and then 'know' that this blue ball can move around inside your head.   As it does, by paying attention to what happens with your breathing and your eyes, you'll find where the balance point is.  When you find the balance point, zing!  you'll get the response.  They are tied together.

By monitoring your 'self,' by noticing what your eyes are like, what your breath is like, what your muscle tone is like, where your blue ball is, you can decide whether or not to invite it to find it's way back to the balance point.   

It can be done with the questions, 'Would it be possible for my blue ball to come into the balance point?  .... When would that be possible?'   (Ahh!  isn't that nice?) 

Have you had a chance to play with this in your riding?  What is your experience with this?

"The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities."
