YAY YAY YAY!
Week-end of joy and break through...
I always knew that juggling was manipulation... I had heard it discussed a couple of times amongst various jugglers.
This weekend I realised it in practice!
I know many of you will know this moment WELL and some of you wont be able to fully understand what I'm really chatting about...
I basically picked up my pois and thought I'd let it flow to practice 'performing.' I dont know quite how it happened. um... drug induced trance maybe?!
I just zoned out and let the pois guide me... I practiced and practiced and practiced and after a point I realised that those things in my hands were objects that I was manipulating to make shapes, patterns, sequences... They werent pois, there was no such things as a 'move.' Its felt as though they were extensions of my arms which I had full pivotal/twirling control over...
It was one of the most amazing experiences!
I really know what it feels like now; not just 'YAY spinny pretty things' and 'wow, check out this new move.'
FULL control...
Beauty! Peace!
That lovely state of focused, transcendental meditation! I was and still feel on top of the world. A new experience has begun and I am fully enjoying the ride...
Much love, drome

Looking for a kind hearted reader here... Is that you... did you manipulate? do you want to?
Just try and see what happens

You know, I had this experience while spinning at a gig last week. For the first time, I started to feel like I was pushing the pois where I wanted them to go, rather than pulling them away from where I didn't want them to go. Does that make any sense?
There just comes a point where you realize that you have full control and it's no longer about moves and routines, but just about letting it go and not thinking about it.

Let it all go Mike. It is then that you will see your own light shinning so bright.
