Post surgical mental skill experiment: injury consciousness
2. Injury “consciousness” exercise: focus on injured knee while sitting. This proved to be quite difficult, since I don’t feel any pain or anything weird. In fact, I am not exactly conscious of having anything wrong with my knee except when I have to move it. So I tried for a few minutes, failed and decided to flex my leg. Flexing the leg causes discomfort and a very intense experience of having something wrong inside my knee. However, one can’t hold an operated joint flexed for very long. As soon as I resumed the extended leg position, the “very wrong” sensation disappeared again. However intermittent, I believe I was able to experience my knee injury in a more focused attitude.
3. “Cleansing” exercise – lying down. Dangerous (because I might fall asleep). Creating a continuous flow image was more effective than the inspiration-accumulation, expiration-flush-it-down
4. The lifts – failed to experience myself squatting, again. Succeed, however shortly, in experiencing benching; the deadlift is a mystery: the imagery distorted itself against my will again and again, forcing me to DL traditional, while my DL has always been sumo-style and I was attempting to sumo DL.
