today; luk sau, straights, big punch, drop step and close.
today i stressed the importance of language. language can be manipulated to change the way we perceive reality. if i say “I feel pain”; we empower the sensation that we commonly associate with ‘pain’ and make it particular to ourselves. if however i say “there is pain”, i am disassociating it from my notion of ’self’. I then become an objective observer to the pain, rather than its complacent sufferer.
For more; see any of the language books written by Stephen Pinker.
