WHAT IS THE GLOW?
It is a high state of vitality and health. Living in the Glow is
all about what is required to develop and maintain this state on the
Physical, Emotional, and Mental levels.
Physically it is similar to the runners high and second wind - but
different in that the reflexes are being called upon in a manner that
demands total attention and quick reaction. The Crystal Stix play creates
a continuous series of positive (accurate) choices that alternate between
the two hemispheres of the brain this results in an elated sense of
accomplishment. Endorphins are being released and the body is in a high
state of readiness, being ready for more of the same.
Emotionally it is feeling capable and sure of yourself as well
as deriving a sense of elation from the series of accurate choices being
made and the continuous high state of readiness the play action demands.
This is being in control at a high rate of speed and demands total commitment
to the process of your own decisions.
Mentally it is getting
beyond the "stopping and thinking" state and into the looking, comprehending,
and choosing state. This requires mental agility of a high order to
develop utilizing the whole mind as opposed to just the analytical portions.
HOW TO DEVELOP THE GLOW.
Small actions are like
the threads in a rope they add up to strength and fortitude. Each action
you take with the Crystal Stix creates an imprint in your body, emotions
and memory. Setting up a pattern of actions does the same thing in a
more complex way. While this could be said in several different ways
(such as cultivating a learned-resoponse) the idea of imprinting your
body, emotions, and mind with physical experience and then re-reacting
to the experience by repeating the action(s) is at the core of living
in the glow. Relying on what you have done before by re-stimulating
the experience and allowing it to bring you back to a natural state
of exuberance as well as adding to it by releasing more emotion while
you play is what it is all about. When you play all out with excitement
and do it regularly the glow will happen.
