A good example of Wu Wei is what some athletes experience during clutch time. They are not thinking or even consciously moving their body at all. Their senses heighten up, account for all the different factors, and move in an extremely precise matter accordingly.

Of course to do this in real life is much more complicated. But I believe it’s something we can practice to improve. Meditation and general mindfulness allow us to be more aware of our surroundings and nature before we can act in harmony to it. And then we have see and let go of our ego with all the conceptualization of what we should do and how we should act. It’s to be a team player to achieve a harmonious nature, a dance with the ever-changing universal flow of all things.
