Wander or dance to exhaustion in utter spontaneity. Then, suddenly, drop to the ground and in this fall be total. There absolute essence is revealed.

~ Vijnanabhairava Tantra, verse 111

Each of has the desire (yes?) to become ~ with each breath we take, with each step of our lives ~ more fully alive And yet there is the paradox that each breath we take, each step of our lives, brings us one step, one breath closer to our death. So how do we work with this? Is there a solution to this paradox?

The traditions of Buddhism as well as Kashmir Shaivism see (the appearance of) this life of ours as training-ground for (the appearance of) that moment of our death. They resolve the paradox through the understanding that only by training ~ in every moment ~ in the art of being fully alive, fully present here and now, in this moment, in this moment, in this moment ~ only through a practice such as this are we able then to be fully present (fully alive!) at the moment of our death.

The quotation above, from the Vijnanabhairava Tantra (a text written by the Shaivite school of Kashmir around the first century A.D.), points to such a resolution. Lets take a closer look

Wander or dance to exhaustion in utter spontaneity. Have you ever danced, or performed any other activity, so completely, with such total abandon, such love and absorption, that the point of exhaustion (what distance runners call the wall) opens into a whole new realm of experience, puts you in touch with a whole new flow of energy/inspiration? Its the moment when years of training (our accumulated expertise) is allowed to open, to fall away into a mindless spontaneity when movement becomes both divinely precise and effortless (Michael Jordan, Baryshnikov, & Jet Li come to mind here) when I am no longer doing anything, yet all things are still manifesting, radiantly, perfectly. In the language of Taoism this state of effortless doing is called Wu Wei.

Then, suddenly, drop to the ground and in this fall be total. Have you ever gone out on a warm summer night, laid on your back on a grassy hillside, and let your mind & heart & vision travel out into the starry sky, with its countless galaxies? When we surrender, we surrender completely no holding back. We let the whole thing dissolve. We die into the present moment. In the language of Tibetan Buddhism, this is called the Completion Stage.

There absolute essence is revealed. What if the essence of life and the essence of death were one and the same? What if both our wandering and our dancing were expressions of that one essence, and equally wise? What if we could touch ~ with each breath, each step, each of our awakened daily activities ~ the sweetness & power that is this essence?

And now, please feel free . to Dance!

In order to become a golfer, you are going to need to master the building blocks of your swing. You need to understand how to hold the club so that you can give the ball a good wack. Once you have a good grip, how do you align yourself to the target so that the ball get close to the target you are aiming for? What should your posture look like? Just how much knee flex should you have, and exactly where is the ball located in your stance? Should you be looking at the sun or down at the ball when you take your swing?

For golfers that are naturally left handed, perfecting the golf swing can be kind of tricky. in the past there weren't very many clubs designed for left handed golfers, and most golf course designs put the left handed golfer at a disadvantage. As a result of this many left handed golfers learned how to play golf right handed. Today though technology has advanced to the point that some golf clubs have been specifically designed for left handed golfers.

It doesn't matter if you are left handed or right handed, because it all comes down to which side has the stronger, more natural feeling swing. To find out which side works best for you try swinging the club as if it were a baseball bat from side to side. The muscles that are used to swing a baseball bat are similar to the range of motion in a golf swing. Of course if you are still having trouble hitting a straight shot, you can always blame the equipment. A lot of golfers do.

The way that you place your hands on the club can affect your shot. Proper and placement on the club is going to be a very important part of your technique. Very few golfers that have played for any length of time pay a lot of attention to their hand placement. A golf grip is very hard to correct once you've gotten use to the ways your hand feel griping the club. To most golfer hand placement simply doesn't seem as important as the actually swing itself, this is why you see so many golfers with bad grips.

golf is a serious sport. If you would like to learn about some of the golf training aids that are available to help you improve your golf swing then you need to visit: http://www.PlayingWinningGolf.com

When someone mentions having your own personal development growth plan what sorts of things do you think about?

Let me try and guess a few of them:
- Goal setting
- Motivation
- Increasing your self-esteem and confidence
- Improving your image or public speaking
- Making better use of your time
- Empowering yourself to be happier

Recognize a few of these?

Certainly, understanding that you must set goals and organize your effort around achieving those goals is important and helpful on your road to self improvement.

Similarly, staying motivated is a critical part of achieving any progress on your personal growth plan. For many, motivation is a daily struggle - a losing battle where we blame procrastination and lack of motivation for our inability to make progress.

But let's take a deeper look at a personal growth plan that is based solely on ways to technically make you better each stage of the planning and execution phase of personal improvement.

Try answering the following questions:

"Where do you uncover objectives worthy enough of setting goals?"

Do you know what you want today in terms of a "perfect" career or business?

Do you understand what would trul make you happy if you could snap your fingers and it appeared instantly?

What about motivation? What would keep you motivated day-in and day-out? If motivation was not a frame of mind but rather was based on KNOWING you are driving towards the ultimate objectives in your life, wouldn't that keep you motivated?

personal Development Growth From The Inside

You see, what nobody seems to talk about is that you can learn all of the techniques, case studies, examples and strategies you want when driving towards personal improvement, but if you do not base them on what is inside of you (alignment), then they are just technical tactics that will not result in lasting change.

By using techniques such as mediation, yoga and introspection, you can derive truly meaningful objectives in your drive to achieve personal development growth resulting in results that will surpass your wildest dreams.

By mixing internal realization with traditional spects of personal development growth you will have the secret to long-term, sustained personal improvement in your life.
