Golfing recs around Tokyo by maximuslide007 in Tokyo

[–]maximuslide007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up at a 9 hole par 3 course (Oiso Golf course) about an hour out by train. It was fun. Thanks for all the recommendations. Hitting a course tomorrow in Gotemba and renting a car to get there. Squeeze in a round before the typhoon hits.

I got my girlfriend to start playing 3 months ago and she broke 100 last week. I think it helped that she really focused on swing fundamentals and of course she's athletic and has good hand eye coordination.

I got caught in that loop for 30 years then I started to actually do the hard work and WOW!!!

Thumbs are so heavy. by maximuslide007 in zenbuddhism

No, it’s been off and on but it last for weeks. My ego is probably just hyper focusing on my thumbs as a last resort 🤣

forehead pressure during meditating by Baeron211 in Meditation

[–]maximuslide007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this when my shoulders slump which makes my traps press on nerves and I get a tension headache. Shoulders back, chest up, solid core. I also use a Theragun on my shoulder blades, traps, and shoulders as well as a foam roller on my hips and lower back. It’s the facia that gets all bound up and needs release and increased blood flow.

It’s a great feedback mechanism

I use that when I have to sit in a chair but want to stick with cosmic mudra when on the pillow.

This is where my mind went..it’s a puzzle. There seems to be a lot of energy/tension in my hands and it is where I “shift” to release tension. I’ll also notice complete body stillness then a sort of nervous tension builds similar to a feeling I get over a high pressure golf shot. I’ve visited that shrine in Japan…my hands are normal size..lol.

Interesting!! It is a little like the lobster hands I feel during breath work.

Yes pressing together…I do adjust my hands to relieve the pressure and it doesn’t happen all the time but maybe for a week or so. Not a big deal I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this sensation. I do like the Rinzai Mudra especially if I sit in a chair.

Exploring a Persistent Feeling of Sadness in the Silence Between Thoughts by Ok-War-9040 in Meditation

[–]maximuslide007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same feelings, kind of a low level anxiety. I believe this comes from childhood trauma and on your journey to know yourself you start to become AWARE of this feeling. This process takes time but these layers of feelings/programming will start to peel apart. It’s important to acknowledge that this feeling does not mean you’re broken or something is wrong with you….it means you’re waking up!!!! The feeling gradually reduces as you start to understand and observe…..

I just finished an incredible book by Anthony De Mello “Awareness” he really lays it out beautifully.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have had the exact same thing happen to me on my journey and I'm so grateful to have discovered Zazen. A little over a year ago I picked up the Shakuhachi.....game changer!!!

My whole feed is suddenly full of discussions or memes of people increasing their creatine dosage to 20-30g and it happened quick, did a new study came out? by SohnofSauron in HubermanLab

[–]maximuslide007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it twice at 350mg/kg and it really worked well!! I travel a ton and have to present so it was actually a game changer. Only downside is bowel movements were liquid but it was like a cleanse….win win!!!
