For those who haven't done the trek in Nepal yet,I would like to briefly describe its main characteristics.You climb up in order to descend and most of the hike the rhythm of walking is up,down,up,down and so on until you reach the goal.When you think that you have arrived at the top or in the village, you have to go down again, because most of the times the villages are built in the valleys.It's really a good test for a character and patience;above all it makes you learn how to forget the goal and appreciate the journey.
I got an idea for this title from Jeff Foster (www.lifewithoutacentre.com ) when he was talking about depression and how it occurred to him that depression actually always leads to a deep rest. Why can depression be beneficial? Because it is a sign of our exhaustion and fighting with life and it's telling us (our our ego) to finally give up the fight and let go. We can often hear advices among the amateur golfers to hit a ball with shorter backswing and keeping the head still. Most of them think that they implement such action well, until they see their swing and find out that the club is far from the desired position. Despite the fact that the information on a shorter swing theory may be correct, the majority of players can’t perform that. That happens because our sense perception often doesn’t match with the actual motion. |
