Attention Climbers
Sharpen your senses. Peak your perception. Build climbing instinct and adaptability off the wall from the inside out, so that you can climb your hardest on the wall.
My name is Crystal, and welcome to Attention Climbers!
All guided meditations are live, improvised sessions that I record in one-go and participate in myself. Each episode emerges in a unique moment where I need a relaxed but active meditation for immediate stress reduction, AND wanted to ingrain rock-solid climbing instincts. This is where climbing performance and mind-body health - intersect.
Designed for any climber, at any point on your journey, to listen to and follow along with anytime and anywhere you feel safe to relax and be in your body.
Rest day? Check.
Injured but want to still be climbing"? Check.
Pre-climb tune-in? Check.
Mid-session rest-and mental reset? Check.
Post-climb cool down? Check.
Stressy, messy, pressy life moments where you'd rather be climbing? CHECK!
Having a body, a mind, and an attentive state of presence - are all you need.
As always, climb well, be well, and thanks for listening!

Weight Shifts with Arch Lifts: 5 Minute Guided Body Scan with Visualisation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
*Up to approx. 2:45 is the WHAT, HOW and WHY. The remaining time contains the meditation.*
Coach Belinda (Be) Fuller places tremendous weight upon keeping the foot arch active while shifting weight in rockovers, on and off the wall. Much easier said than done!
Here is the HannahMorrisBouldering YouTube video referencing this crucial cue.

By practicing this while we are NOT climbing using a body scan, we strengthen the basic "attentional coordination" required to activate this firing pattern on the wall - leading to foot-led sequencing, efficient power generation, and a climbing style that dances up the wall - the telltale signs of Coach Be's climbing and teaching.
