Exercising as Meditation

I was finally able to meet with Daryl Conant today at the Fitness Nuthouse. Although I did not get a training regimen, the information I was able to gather was far more important.

Meditating daily has helped me gain self-control and awareness but I am still looking to elevate my consciousness and control over body and mind. Weight lifting and exercise offer a perfect opportunity for that practice!

My goal is now to meditate while lifting, to deeply focus on the muscle tissue, what it looks like, how I want it to look, to feel the nerves firing in the tissue, to breath oxygen to the muscle, to gain complete control. This is what Daryl describes as being the way he sees progress in his body and mind on a daily basis and I plan to emulate that behavior.
