Continuation from Monday…..(What Would Buddha Do?)
Transforming STRESS Into Positive Energies
Once you know how, transforming your internal energies from one form into another becomes a whole lot of fun. Just as if you were choosing from dozens of ice cream flavors, you have a hidden ability of taking any flavor of your internal energy and then transforming it into whatever it is that you wish. For instance, you can take sudden bursts of anger energy and then instantaneously transform into laughter or you can take jealousy and transform it into love or you can take stress and transform it into compassion. You can even take any of the energies within, supercharge them and then release them to the outside world if it serves a purpose.
Perhaps my running activity would be a perfect illustration of what I mean. In short, I really enjoy running when I am incredibly angry. If for no other purpose than getting a better work out and making the entire process a little bit more fun. Yet, as was mentioned in the previous section it is next to impossible to make me upset, let alone angry. Someone would have to go out of their way and dedicate real time and resources to bring any sort of anger out of me. As such, artificial anger generation becomes the only option.
Typically, to get my anger energy flowing I concentrate on recent political issues that I might disagree with and past events where people have done me wrong. I then begin two oscillate between both issues while consciously imagining how idiotic the people in question are, what should be done and what my payback will be. With a few tricks I can then escalate this energy into a furious firestorm of anger within my belly. All within the first five minutes of starting my run.
And the point?
Once my anger energy is at a boiling point I consciously flip an internal switch and transform this anger energy into a literal jet fuel that supercharges my running output. So much so that I typically shave off a minute off of my regular mile pace of 8 minutes. With pure anger fueling my short legs I usually have no problem holding 7 minute a mile pace for well over an hour. Only to drop near exhaustion after my anger jet fuel literally runs out.
And while we already talked about this in the previous section, it is worth repeating what happens behind the scenes. Simply put, as I start my daily runs I consciously access my unified energy reservoir and its daily allocation. I then knowingly introduce anger into this unified energy field and though the process describe above start to spiral it into a concentrated field of pure anger energy.
To the point where all of the energies within me become ANGER. Once this heightened state of anger is achieved I then deliberately transform it into the jet fuel energy used in my daily runs. So much so that this little trick gives me the ability to function at peak performance levels throughout the entire ordeal.
