"Power of Now Pendulums": Training Rhythmic, Repetitive, Recurring Presence

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 back to Attention Climbers. 

In climbing, presence is NOT created equal. The timing and dosing of presence is most crucial at our physical, emotional, and neurological cruxes, which are usually the moments we are LEAST likely to be present. This playful experience on a park swing - invites us to experiment with this advanced skill and concept. 

If we visualise presence as a clear path to getting to know ourselves - this "meditation" is a little "off trail" to say the least. It came to me while sitting side-straddled on a tire swing, so you will hear outdoor sounds and swingy sounds, in addition to my voice. 

All meditations, including this one, are live, improvised sessions that I record in a single "flash" 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!
