Bowls - Think it Do it and be Amazed

I'm Back  Yes blogging AGAIN.  We pick up a book and reading it we get involved with the story.  If about bowls, our sport, we get to relating the subject with our experiences on the green.

HOWEVER,  Life goes on.  The Blogger, myself, has a life and  at 70 years old the knowledge is there,but so also there are a lot of things going on relating to health.  The C word is always there today, and when we hear mention or family members are hospitalized we forget everything and live a completely different life. This summer without competition and bowls is different but I find time passes fast.

  Well, all is good for me.  What was a spot on the lungs and thought caused by second hand smoke, is just an old scar matter, My loved one has had her operation and seems to be recovering well. I, and my mind can relax.  Bowl season is almost over but I am back to Blog as I am amazed by the readership and comments.

What this got to do with Bowls.    There is a social side of Bowls and polite respect for our opponent. We hate losing but must accept that the best man (or woman) wins.  As i look back at the blogs written over the past few years some blogs have been at the forefront of readers. (I used a small "i" because after the BIG "C" we are small.  or Maybe the BIG "G" as He seems to be involved in our life)

Subconscious mind Exercises has had 1859 reads since written in December 2012. And it is not a 5 minute read, it is long.  But always every week ,it has, at least, the volume of readers interest.  When I wrote that I thought that it was over the head of many of the Blog readers and would be considered as PuppyPop or wishful thinking.  Recently,  while discussing it with a bowler I discovered a sincere indication of the separation of Conscious and Subconscious mind. The first exercise of that blog was to use the Bowl rolling exercise to have you feel the point where the Subconscious mind is involved.

To know and see the difference between the two minds. Subconscious and Conscious try this interesting experiment.  (Experiment because it might not work for all)

Open and close your eyes and feel the muscles involvement that is presence. To one individual they said "When I feel for that muscle movement it is like a spring Blind popping up on the window and going around and around".  Now that you feel that muscle movement we are going to say that that is your conscious mind.  You tell you body to do it and conscious thought on your part does it.

Subconscious mind is the body doing things which it know you need doing like your heart or lungs. It would be dangerous if we had to think to breath in a breath or cause blood to flow with a heart beat. The area of control of the conscious mind is two parts of interest.  First, like the Cancer mention above, the subconscious mind can give great health and recovery by positive conscious efforts. Interesting I wrote  "conscious effort" in having the Subconscious mind help heal disease or mental problems.  But it is a big conscious and continual effort to be positive and see good in the worst of situations.

Second, lets see the Subconscious mind over conscious body movements. After reading this try the following exercise.  Do the above eye opening exercise and feel the muscle movements involved. Now close your eyes and tell yourself you can see through the eyelids by remembering what is in the room or scene around you. Look hard and even see the white of your inter eyelids.  Now with that thought fixed in your mind, try to open your eyes. Your subconscious mind will not allow you to open your eyes even you know the muscle movement.  Why. Like a computer occupied in doing something it is keeping the situation of eyes closed so you can see through your eyelids.  If you had already said it is foolish you can not see through you eyelids.. your eyes will open..

HAVE YOU TRIED IT ?  Amazing that it was so hard to open your eyes.  If you did not try that exercise than don t read further as the mind is not a tool box to throw thoughts into and maybe try to use one day..  Be honest to yourself and me (the blogger with belief you will benefit from this idea).. try it and understand the subconscious mind control over the conscious efforts.

If you had engaged your subconscious mind to control your delivery and roll the bowl right to the Jack, it will likewise prevent you doing things which would otherwise allow you to achieve that goal. If you had belief in God's healing and Prayer your subconscious mind will heal.  Positive thinking will bring abut positive results.

Over the years (for newer bowlers) you have rolled 100 or 1000 bowls and watched the result. With older bowlers of 25 or 30 years of experiece at bowls, we may be getting close to having rolled 100,000 bowls.  Your subconscious mind know what you are trying to do and does it if you allow it to be in control.

Imagine the outfielder throwing to the pitcher or Catcher in a "Save that Run" situation thinking before throwing or analysis the force need.  The ball would never get there or not in time.  Think it Do it and be Amazed at it.
