It's wednesday again, which means advanced class. It's been kata tonight, and I was pretty rubbish. Funny thing though, I went there with a headache. Some 20 minutes into the class, all of a sudden I felt a deep quiet... similar to when you switch off some machine and suddenly realise how noisy it was, by the sudden lack of noise. All that background brain activity, the background noise of thought all of a sudden subsided, together with the headache.
I think, I've had a lot of stress lately, and now it's given way. I actually feel calmer and rather positive. Well Aikido has sometimes this effect on me, well any kind of physical workout really. Life is good again.
