Chapter 1K-The Shock Absorber Method
In reading through Pavel Tsatsouline's books on flexability and health I was struck by a powerful integration!
He claimed we already have all the muscle we need but we only use 5 or 10 % of what is available to us. Does that sound familiar?
He goes on to say the mother that lifts a car to save the life of her baby is not doing it through emotional strength or magickal levitation. She is simply using "all" of her muscle strength.
Apparently only 5 or 10% of the muscles we use have nerves firing and making them work. The trick is to get the nerves firing on the other 90-95%!
The Russian Kettlebell acts to do this through the process of "ballistic shock". The entire body absorbs the shock during a kettlebell workout and by spreading the impact throughout the body helps more of the nerves to fire. In my opinion this is why kettlebells are so effective.
If we apply the same concept to our mind and thought processes it's pretty clear that the analogy still holds true. If we want to use more of our mental ability we need to fire those nerves through some form of "ballistic shock". Perhaps it might be the exposure to a radical new idea?
This shock absorber method is unique in that just a few "shocks" a day get better results than a steady "grind". The trick is to get more nerves to fire and then let them rest and recuperate till next time.
We can apply this concept to all the energies generated by the physical body. Living intensely means to create "spikes" or "shocks" throughout the day with each of the energies. This involves planning and living a balanced life that has a bit of everything in it.
What happens is that the physical body becomes filled to overflowing with energy and can no longer contain it. The energy is then released into the astral through one of the bodies "energy centers" or "chakras". We can feel the energy release when it happens.
In athletics this is called getting the "second wind". But we can experience it with all of the other energies generated by the physical body.
