Beyond Emotions

Once I mastered my emotions, I considered whether it would be possible to take controls of one's physical body as well. It is a step more difficult, but it is indeed possible. It won't turn you into superman, but it will enable you do anything you do without difficulty. The easiest way to make the leap from emotions to the physical is to treat difficulty as though it were and emotion. If you can do that, then do something you would normally have trouble with, and then tune out the difficulty. You will still feel the effect on your muscles, but it will not feel difficult.

Just yesterday I lifted weights for the first time using pondera. I found that I need to be careful, because it's very easy to push my body to its limit. None the less, it should be fun to enjoy the benefits of weightlifting without working out.

Since I've discovered pondera, I've also fixed my posture. for many years I've had terrible posture, but it is now quite perfect, whether standing or sitting.

Another thing that I'm learning is that pondera is something that needs to be practiced. It's not something that can just be learned and taken for granted. It is like a martial art. Strong emotions are more difficult to tune out than weak ones, and lifting heavy weights is more difficult to make easy than lifting light ones.
