How to get out of your own way: Mind and Body
body [muscle]: fears → locks up
mind: doubts → blocks
Both stop movement. Both stop life.
Both can be dissolved.
CNS: golgi organs in tendons blocks [once triggered takes 48-72 hours to reset GTOs monitor sudden spikes in tension.
The four Dhanurvedic aspects, aligned to daily life/Sumo:
Root → Align → Open → Action [Sumo:Drive]:
🌿 Dhanurveda
1. Root → Prithvi (Earth)
In Dhanurveda, the archer must first root into the earth.
Stability, grounding, immovability.
Everything begins with connection to the ground.
2. Align → Sushumnā (Central Channel)
Before drawing the bow, the warrior “straightens the inner channel.”
This is the vertical alignment of spine + pranic current.
Your “current aligns upward” is exactly this.
3. Open → Hṛdaya (Heart Expansion)
Just before release, the chest and energetic center must open, not contract.
Open = clarity, fluidity, non-resistance.
“channel opens”
4. Drive → Mokṣa / Release (The Arrow’s Flight)
The release is effortless, precise action.
Not forced — but clean, committed, unified.
This is your “Drive.”
🔱 Your Mantra is a Perfect Dhanurvedic Sequence
Root → Align → Open → Drive
maps exactly to:
Prithvi → Sushumnā → Hṛdaya → Mokṣa
It is literally the energetic and biomechanical logic of classical archery — and of perfect Sumo, of all life.
CNS Insight
The Golgi tendon organs (GTOs) — deep sensors in the tendons —
shut down force output when tension spikes suddenly or when a pattern feels unsafe.
Once triggered, they may take 48–72 hours to reset.
This is why a lift can feel easy one moment, then impossible the next.
The nervous system “protects” long before the mind even understands what happened.
