‘ When the archer shoots for no particular prize, he has all his skills; when he shoots to win a brass buckle, he is already nervous: when he shoots for a gold prize, he goes blind, sees two targets, and is out of his mind. His skill has not changed, but the prize divides him. He cares! He thinks more of winning than of shooting, and the need to win drains him of power.’ – Tranxu, Great Chinese Sage Když střelec střílí pro zábavu, um ho neopouští; v okamžiku kdy střílí, aby vyhrál měděnou sponu, zmocní se ho nervozita; když je cenou za vítězství zlato, oslepne, cíl vidí dvojmo a je nervozitou bez sebe. Jeho um se nezmenšil, ale představa ceny ho rozpolcuje. Chce ji! Soustředí se víc na vítězství než na střelbu, a ta touha vyhrát ho obírá o sílu.

What would be a Mindful therapists perspective? “for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Shakespeare. Mindfulness…there is no right or wrong. A thought is just a thought.

What we are aware of we are in control of, what we are not aware of is in control of us. There a dynamic relationship between ourselves and the people we work with. We pay lots of attention to the person we work with but what about our part in this dynamic relationship?

So what are you aware of?
