The heart can't think...it just knows the way!

Today we had a Blackbelt promotion.

The story that follows JUST happened!
: )

The last part of the test is the brick breaking.
It is the least important and yet it is the big deal for the students testing.

Well:

One cap block (cement block or as we like to say "brick") was held up by two concrete blocks.
Each student testing has to step up, breathe, connect, wind-up a few times and just go for it!

Later after the event was over and the black belts were awarded,
we had pizza and sat around chatting.
One of the adults shared his story of his "brick" break.

I said to him:
"I noticed that you wound up four times before you broke the cement block".

He said:
"Yes, I wound up and went through the motion of the
breaking the brick' three times.
Each time I knew there was a brick there
and
I couldn't go for it.
The fourth time the brick disappeared and
I plowed right though".
: )

I got to thinking...hummmm....when he didn't focus on
the separateness...there was none.
Ha!
: )
Yup, the heart can't think...it just knows the way!

By the way I have five new first level blackbelts
one 2nd level
and
one new SENSEI (3rd degree)

We're feeling pretty gal-darn....Happy!
