One more thing
In a mushroom trip with a high dose I had a revelation. My body was really mad at me. Accumulated all these tensions and strains inside , stress, fear, all embedded in the muscle memories and neural pathways.
And it was really angry at me. When I let my body loose of my mental control it started to move. And dance, and jump and play and it ran like releasing a wild horse to the prairie. And it kicked and turned around and stomped the ground. And if it would have had voice it would have said:
"You idiot always doing mechanical movements and training in patterns and repetitions and sets and schedules. You fool always moving like a robot. Let me be free of your idiocy I am not a machine I am a living being "
And I spent the next hour jumping around and kicking the air and waving my arms and running back and forth until I was breathless and exhausted.
And my body was right. It has memory and intelligence of its own. It is smart as millions of years of evolution. And it holds record of what happens to you. So we better find ways to move that create good memories. Going to the gym, using apparatus, gear, stupid repetitive motions, no meaning, no goal, just becoming machinery yourself. That is a disgrace for some bodies and beings that crave to be free and play.
So in the end I learnt that I need time to be goofy moving, let the horse wild, go nuts in movement and dance. I often do it when I go for a run at nights, when no one sees me in the dark. (Because it would be very weird if someone sees me) Or I let loose the wild animal in a far away empty field I tend to visit.
Find the way you balance traditional excercise with releasing your animal.
If you find many blockages in your relationship with excercise. You will probably need a releasing of your inner tiger. Go goofy and enjoy pure movement.
I recommend Ido Portal. I've seen the things he does and it can be alike to a discipline that integrates those parts.
