"Down-beat. Sit cross legged on the floor/ground with a fairly solid pillow in front of you. Summon up all the determination, even the frustration, built up all your life towards what you really want, what your soul wants, your true purpose and intent. Build inside yourself the full passion of deepest drive, allow it to speak of how it has not yet been achieved, how you will not allow it to be thwarted, how you will surmount every obstacle, how you will show the gods that your passion is a pillar of flame into the cosmos, undeniable, unquenchable, ultimately victorious. Let this passion grow inside, then at the peak lift your fists and bring them down on the pillow with all the force you have invoked - make the strike a statement of intent and power! Cry out as you strike."
This is similiar to what I did to teach myself to shoot basketball. I like to focus in, and lock my concentration and intent with the male beat, and then switch to female, to shoot relax, trusting it will reach the hoop, let go and shoot.
It is wierd sometimes it felt like things where watching me when I would play...some unseen audiance.
Remember presence when you through your stone into the pond....
