I've been raising my Kundalini energy on the golf course. It seems to be working well, but it's resulted in me holding my breath while I'm actually hitting my shots, which as far as I'm aware is an entirely unconventional method of hitting a golf ball. What I have become aware of in my golf is the necessity for structure. Golf is a focused game. You have to get the ball in the hole in as few strokes as possible. It doesn't really matter whether you're a competitive person or not, or how seriously you take the game. It doesn't matter if you're just out there for a little healthy exercise or for some social time with your golf buddies; I've learned from years of experience that the level of frustration can really kick you in the butt if you disregard the fairways and the greens and just whack the ball any old way without regard for where it goes. Because the game is focused on certain things, if you play without regard to those things you're actually, first of all, not even playing; and second of all, you're inevitably going to end up feeling completely lost. There is a certain psychological intrigue to completely losing track of what you're doing and feeling utterly lost, but even that creates its own focus. How do you deal with such a state of affairs? So I've been trying to come down to earth a little bit lately on the golf course, and instead of just gripping it and ripping it develop some sort of metric by which to feel more grounded. More in control. For example, in putting I have recently adopted a technique of focusing on a point in front of the ball rather than look at the ball itself when I putt, and trying to roll the ball over that point. It seems to be working okay, but the great advantage of it is that it orients you to something. I mean, there you are standing sideways with your head in the air and the ball on the ground, trying to make heads or tails of this strangely slanted reality in the attempt to get the ball into the hole, the ultimate goal of the game. It's a strangely dizzying feat at best, so anything that locks you in place is helpful. I got this tip out of a book. Holding your breath while you hit the ball, however, to my knowledge, is not in any book. I don't just hold my breath, however. I take a deep breath, completely filling up my lungs, raising the Kundalini energy from the base of my spine up through the chakras to my third eye. When my lungs are full and the energy has arrived at my pineal gland I hold my breath. At this stage I've already practiced it and perhaps even taken several deep breaths before the final approach to hitting the ball. Now with my breath held and having raised the Kundalini energy I feel noticeably stronger and more confident. One might even say more courageous. Nothing works every time in golf, but anything that raises my own perceived level of proficiency is helpful. I began adopting my newly discovered technique on the 14th hole and I had two of my four pars and my only birdie in that closing stretch of holes. As a matter of fact I birdied the first hole I tried it on. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts, whether there is any cumulative evidence that holding my breath when I swing actually improves my game. If it does maybe I'll write a book about it.
