Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Here are some of my musings on the belt flow for performance issues. When the belt flow is cut off your legs don't move as good as they are capable. You cannot 'center' physically as an athlete. Your 'ground' is only partial. Your propioceptives are a bit off. Your ability to judge distances is off. Your balance is slightly off. And you are probably homolateral and bumping into things. (Please notice I'm leaving all the neat things about meridians, chakras, 8's, etc out of this post because of two reasons: 1) it's not pertinent to where I'm going, and 2) it would take a book.) None of the above is any good for peak performance of athletes...or for hiking in the hills or climbing a ladder. But doing the belt flow is just the start of where someone into physical peak performance, or hiking in the hills, or climbing a ladder wants to go. For maximum centeredness, grounding, and performance certain physical positions, knee flex, foot balance points, body parts alignment, single points of angles, and much else also needs to be added to the energy mix. If you are into a sport that uses the legs, even if you do the belt flow, by standing incorrectly the belt flow will almost instantly go out. On the other hand if the belt flow is out, but you know how to properly physically center than the belt flow is connected instantly with the change in physical stance. Energy Testing is a mandatory skill to have so that those that have lousy (underdeveloped) calibrations skills can notice the difference between being belt hooked up, and belt not hooked up. Beginners can't notice and 'talk' will never convince or motivate them to do the damn drills. But the validation and verification of an energy test will help tremendous if you then give them the benefits of doing drills X, Y and Z. John M.
