I think you’ve described it well. That’s exactly the kind of thing I’ve found in the past. I also appreciate your comment on my blog entry, by the way. I’m glad to have visitors, and I’m especially pleased that you enjoyed my woodcarving. I’m quite new to it, but I find it to be a relaxing and enjoyable hobby.

Love and Respect,

Mike

I know exactly what you mean, and I hadn’t really thought about the effect meditation might have in this area.

I think you’re right, I certainly seem to be able to hold on longer and work through it better since I’ve been meditating. I’ve also noticed an increased body awareness of myself during the workout, with regards to posture and breathing, have you found this?

I totally agree with your post. Although I haven’t done any weight training lately, I was quite into it last year and I found much of what you have said to be very true. Sometimes my mind may have been screaming for me to stop, but I found that I started to develop an ability to ignore my mind in those situations. I also found that meditation practice helped bring this out during my weight training. I was wondering if you had found this as well.

Love and Respect,

Mike
