Sports and athletics can be a path in Zen, in concordance with daily practice of zazen meditation. You need to move with your spirit, not just with your body.

Your immediate experience is Tantric Zen. How aware are you of your immediate experience? - Probably not that aware.

Start meditating with your eyes open, focusing as a warm-up, then focus on a chakra, then just let go and merge. Don't sit there and think or move into sleepy states of awareness, but move into high-powered states of attention.

Zen students see themselves as athletes. Their competitive sport is enlightenment; only with enlightenment do we compete.

When you can command the nagual you have a great deal of power, and people know it intuitively. They feel if they can plunge themselves into the nagual they can get anything they want in the tonal.

If your intent is that athletics and sports are tools or devices to reach higher levels of mind, then your workout sessions become meditation.

Look for the things in your life that bring you stillness and happiness, not the things that make you crazy. Look inside yourself and look for that perfect stillness.
