Meditation

Meditation is indispensable to the superior fighter's success, though some will not admit it—or worse, do not realize it. There are many schools of thought on the science of meditation, but the end result is always the same: the simultaneous achievement of a relaxed body and a focused mind.

Meditation is a simple exercise. First, you should find a comfortable position. This can be lying down, sitting, or standing. Close your eyes. Now, tense your whole body, from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet, as hard as you can. Hold like this for about 5-10 seconds, then relax.

Next, take three deep breaths. Be sure to breathe slowly and naturally. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly, while pursing your lips. During the first exhalation, softly say, "Legs relax," and think and feel your legs relaxing. During the second exhalation, softly say, "Arms relax,” and think and feel your arms relaxing. During the third exhalation, softly say, "Body relax," and think and feel your entire body relaxing.

If any part of you remains tense, go back and relax it by softly telling that part of your body to relax. Concentrate on keeping your breathing slow, deep, and rhythmic until you feel totally relaxed from head to toe.

At this point, you should begin to program yourself using self-hypnosis. You can do this by repeating the following suggestion at least ten times: "My total fighting speed continues to improve every day."

If you wanted to focus on improving one particular link of the speed chain, you could build your statement around that.

For instance: "My initiation speed continues to improve every day."

The statement I prepared for you is for basic fighting speed development. It can be altered as necessary to suit your needs. Athletes from all major sports have successfully used self-hypnosis to improve their speed and enhance their skills.

While doing self-hypnosis, you should visualize yourself as you want to be. Concentrate intensely on seeing yourself possessing advanced speed. The scenes should look so realistic that it is like you are watching yourself in a movie.

Practice meditating once or twice a day. After you become proficient at relaxation, you will not need to practice as often. In the beginning stages, you can meditate while lying down. Once you become proficient at relaxing your body, you can meditate anywhere, at any time.

The best times to practice your self-hypnosis are just before falling asleep and immediately upon arising in the morning. At these times, you are in a natural state of hypnosis, and the suggestions will sink in more easily. You can also practice self-hypnosis before or after your combat training sessions. The goal is to effectively input the suggestions into your subconscious. Once there, the suggestions will start to materialize through the awesome power of believing.

Be certain that your suggestions are clearly spoken. Also, make certain you put as much "feeling" into the suggestions as possible. You must talk like you really believe every word! This belief will cause the suggestions to take on the power of imperial commands.
