Becoming Multi-Dimensional

What is Alchemy as it pertains to Winning in Sports and Business?

Peak Performance

Mind/Body Training

Alchemy in this sense is the transforming of energetic frequencies in the body to transform yourself to go beyond the dimension you are currently operating at. When training and operating within this higher mind-body awareness, your normal habits begin to fall off and you can operate and perform at a higher level.

This further describes someone who can ‘ground” from the center of their head. It’s a resetting of the mind where one can tape into “simultaneous time” where mind and body come together at the same frequency.

This training gives the ability up-grade your operating system like up-grading your computer. The old computer will not work at that lower level again – you have re-written the outcome of your practice.

At the highest level you transform your adrenaline into refined Qi (energy) and start operating with a single point of observation – which turns into Great Potential.

When you train and become a Master at this level it does not matter if there are any spectators or applause, you have transformed to a higher level – a master who has gone beyond the sport of ego and contrived effort.

The First Step to Reach this Mastery is through the Breath

Increasing energy through breathing, permits greater coherence, resulting in reduced entropy. However, unless the energy is “managed” properly, the exercise gains nothing.

Mastery as an athlete is to know how to access this unobstructed energy in virtually any situation. The key is to have your energy become “intelligent” energy.

The key to using intelligent energy in your sport is to learn the principles of how to be well rooted. In martial arts, rooting is the term used to describe the energetic connection to the earth. Rooting comes from amplifying the energetic link between the earth and your body. The challenge lies in seeing rooting as something you “do.” However, instead it is a “state of being.” It happens as a result of energetic coherence.

This structural alignment and rooting is imperative as you put together your powerful new foundation of mind/body. Rooting will develop your equilibrium and balance to maintain your structural integrity.

Breathing is one of the most important aspects of bringing the mind into the body. Breathing is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and the blood in the lungs. The oxygenated blood delivers oxygen throughout the body.

With correct breathing you increase the pressure of oxygen within the body. With practice you become more sensitive to the energy you are cultivating and you learn to work with it to give you an edge in your sport and also in business. Basically, you are elevating your mind/body to go beyond becoming stagnant.

To look into this deeper, the law of thermodynamics hold that once energy is used to do work, it loses something. It cannot be used again in the same way. It becomes more chaotic. This “wearing down” of energy is entropy. It is often expressed as heat. A machine that throws off too much heat is inefficient.

Energy flow within the body is of no consequence unless the energy can be trapped and stored within the body where it circulates to do work before dissipating. The body will wear out and age proportionally to the entropy present. If the body operates more efficiently with less energy leakage, entropy is slowed.

As a master says: “The posture is like a tree. Even if the tree is very large and strong, if the rooting is not there, then the tree can be pushed over easily.” In other words, if you do not create the “center” you have none. The center, or root, is not the train, it is the station.

In conclusion, all to often exercise becomes a mechanical routine, and the athlete ignores the important mental aspects and inner body discipline completely.

The alchemy is to exercise the mind and body together – to the point that you are aware of the movements and later you are no longer aware, as it becomes automatic. This is the stage to reach. You should be in it and of it. This means that one does not make mere local movements of the body, nor does one make meaningless movements, such as moving the body in the correct form but without giving thought to each movement. The entire body should be in coordination with the totality of the energy matrix. The body should be able to connect and integrate into one complete system, instead of operating as “scattered pieces.”

Think into this now for how you take these principles and for how to bring your mind, body and energy together for your work. You would be unlike 95 % of others who are stagnant.

And people will want to know you.
