You know, a few years ago I decided that I wanted to learn to play golf.  My golf partner at that time was in her 70's, and she was a hoot.  I told her that I had never golfed, and she just said, "Oh, let's go have some fun."

Fun?  I was scared to death, and all the judgment in me came up.  "What if I'm no good?  What if people have to wait for me, and get irritated?  What if I hit somebody in the head?"  All those what if's just kept coming, but I was determined to have fun.

So on the way to the golf course, I practiced EFT, and used the statements:  "Even though I think I'm going to suck at it, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.  Even though I think others will be laughing, I deeply and completely love and accept myself."  Then on the first tee, I sort of hid my tapping and just said, "I'm having fun and I'm very good."  And it turned out to be a great day!

EFT does help create a different way of being in the moment.  Yet, more important than this is how to get out of our heads and into our bodies.

What does this mean?

After my first experience on the golf course, I decided to take some lessons, and what a profound experience for me.  The golf pro told me that I was thinking too much in my head, and that golf was a "feeling" sport.  I didn't quite know what that meant, but was willing to learn.  

The golf pro had me close my eyes and just feel the golf club moving back and forth.  He had me practice this several times.  Then he had me hit the ball and told me that I was still in my head.  Yikes!

He then described the movie, The Legend of Bagger Vance, and how Will Smith's character, who plays the caddy, says to Matt Damon's character, who plays the golf pro:  "Every one has an authentic swing, but it can't be learned, it has to be remembered.  You don't see the ball go in the hole, you feel it go in the hole."

I was familiar with the movie because I had watched it, but now I was putting what I had learned to the test.  This whole message was a metaphor for my life.

There have been so many times when I've conducted my life from the premise of my mind, and no wonder things get stuck.  I haven't been feeling with my entire body and being one with the present moment.  I have existed as a floating head :)...being separate from my body.  Can you imagine what this looks like?

Thus, to feel present in each moment and remember who I truly am connecting to my entire body of streaming consciousness, and then connecting to all that is in my present moment of streaming consciousness.  It's one steady flow.

Incidentally, when I'm the floating head, nothing flows well.  When my head and body are connected, everything flows well.  Makes sense, right?

So you have an authentic swing, but you don't learn about it.  You remember it by being present in this moment, and recognize your authentic swng in it.

If you desire to learn to recognize your true self, not your personality, then contact me ant mention "authentic swing" and receive a discount.  Then you can stop being the floating head...doesn't that feel great?
