“This zone of play is almost hypnotic, a true brilliance appears in a decent athlete, an intuition of the body to know how much force and effort to put into each and every move in order to gain maximum effect. The goal of many spiritual practices is to empty or free the mind in order to access intuitive intelligence.” – Amy Lux

Previous PostPrevious “If we start valuing play more, we’d be paying attention in new ways, with beginner’s mind, with the eyes of a child. We’d see options and possibilities to solve some of the enormous problems we have. Playfulness is woven into our biology. We were never intended to grow into dull, conditioned, petty, prejudiced, miserable adults. We are designed by nature to retain our playful, childlike countenance throughout life. We are a playful species, whether we are 6 months or 60. If we don’t live by our design, we aren’t going to make it.” – Bernard DeKoven
