Kuuntele Mental Skills Dojo

This meditation is potent when you need to calm down and relax, and when you have trials and tribulations in your life that have been weighing heavily on your mind and heart. This is good for pregame, postgame, or off-days. It starts with rhythmic breathing to calm your nervous system. Then a body scan helps us release tension and become present. Lastly, we end with scripture James 1: 2-3 and reflect on Faith and Joy. Enjoy!

This Mental Training is ideal for preparing for an upcoming game. We start by relaxing our bodies with a body scan, and focusing our minds on sensations. Bringing our attention to this sense allows for the mind to become present. Its optimal to be calm and focused and present while using imagery (visualization.) As we move into the imagery portion, remember that some major keys to effective imagery are to include all of the senses, add color, and most importantly feel emotions. Let’s go!
