Dear Shaolin Wahnam Family,
Let's have a survey to see how well learning a basic skill has been sinking in!
How often did you hit overtraining during this past year, excluding the times it resulted from intensive training with Sigung (or something similarly intensive)? Extended overtraining can be dangerous and even slight one always causes minor discomfort, so it is not recommended in our school. It is one of our basic skills to operate at 30% of our best and attain steady progress, so that our body and mind is able to integrate their continued development in a harmonious pace. Sisook Leo's Over-Training and Over-Cleansing thread is an excellent place for sharing more detailed experiences and finding more information about the skills of regulating practice.
As I'm fairly new to our school and not yet in entirely good health, I've found it challenging to pace myself and avoid overtraining. I found yesterday that my mind and spirit are cleansing too fast thought thankfully not very deeply, so now I have to cut back a bit and letting it settle. I would estimate that I have hit gentle overcleansing about half a dozen times this year, with that figure excluding the occasions I have spend in training with Sigung.
With sincere respect,
Olli
