Shadow Boxing: Simple Exercise For SS

[[email protected]]

It is said in Kung Fu, we must learn how to meditate before going onto the first form. You cannot relax doing something if you haven't tried relaxing doing nothing. This exercise is meant for those who aren't really into martial arts or cannot seem to learn or find a place to learn spiritual arts like tai chi.

What is Shadow Boxing?

Shadow boxing is when you spar with your eyes closed, visualizing an opponent. You use your skills of visualization while moving. Many fighters do it when they lack a partner.

So how is this an exercise for SS?

Well there's something I've been trying whenever I shadow boxed. That's visualizing energy on my hands and feet. I personally use electric blue. As you spar make sure to feel the energy on your hands and feet. Draw in more as you breath and focus on your hand and feet chakras too. This way you get to visualize energy, a partner(which can help with thoughtforms), do chakra work, exercise, and at the end of the session you get some energy to do whatever with.

Before the session you can also work on the hand and feet chakras to make it easier.

You can do it at any speed and for any duration. It's technically some form of meditation too so make sure to go slowly at first.

Thanks for sharing. I used to do this without knowing it was something other people did. I would just be in a park at night and be like, well, time to move my body gracefully in rhythm I guess. I bet a lot of people would do more naturally meditative things if they didn't think of them as weird or something. Even just closing the eyes and taking a deep breath; I see more people chewing their toenails in public than I do meditating.
