Undevelopment but partially published to allow the reader
to attempt the exercise of "Hand on Wall" subconscious block example.
In the first part of this two part blog I suggested that the next step is to abandon the use of a "line of Aim" when preparing for your delivery. I am sure many readers were in a hurry to get to this blog and better understand this idea. With the Internet and the nearly 200 blogs I have written the delay between these two blogs will give you the reader time to do some research for your self on the subconscious (third eye).![]() |

In the first part I mention that the Delivery can be broken into five division and that most people use only three. Prepare their bowls for the next delivery (Post Mat) then go to the mat and do the delivery (Delivery) and watch the bowl roll as per their performance (Post-Mat). The two missing actions of the five parts of delivery are Pre-shot and Post-shot (or Post-Muscle Memory Delivery).
These two action performed just prior to giving control to the subconscious mind for the Delivery and just after the Delivery when your senses are aware of all the feelings associated with performance. If you have developed Muscle Memory and felt the emptiness of thought of the "Void"; you are aware of the door which opens to you. This next stage of development may take many years as you learn to communicate with the subconscious mind your expected results.
In the first part of the blog I explained a teacher teaching kindergarden kids to multiply numbers and suggested a different method of showing them how to calculate the correct answer. The school system method of teaching multiplication is to have the student memorize the tables. The method of teaching a new student of Lawn bowls to deliver a bowl is to teach them to use a "Line of Aim".
It is good to develop the memory of young student with memorizing the multiplication tables but also it is important to show them how to calculate the answer if they forgot. The same applies with "Line of Aim" in teaching Bowls. Especially when in those first few years the new club member is using club bowls and changing size and bowls with different bias. But by the end of the second years most new club members have purchased bowls or are now using the same bowls year after year.
As you study more and more the subconscious mind and how mankind has survived because of the many body functions performed instinctive; you may be extremely surprise of having just scratch the surface of what the mind can do. I will give you an exercise here to show the impossible created because your Muscle Memory of Bowls interfered. Then at the very end of the blog. when I have finished, show you how the impossible is possible with an analysis of what has happen.
Of all the Lawn Bowls elite, the only one whom I have seen use a large percentage of the Subconscious mind in his delivery is Gary Kelly (Ireland) who allows the subconscious to find the distance to the jack. Most as this blog will show great deliveries with weight or distance to the jack done by various tricks. Some are add on/take off, some are Repeated movement to feeling, some are distance numbers. but to mental measurement of the distance is unique. Check out a video of his performance in the final of the 2026 commonwealth Mens Pairs hopefully you will see what is unique.
In a previous blog about the subconscious I wrote about the third eye of consciousness and I explained how with the combined subconscious mind of myself and a card playing (intenet) friend in New Jersey: I, being in Canada was able to remove her headacke. A few days later when my daughter was in Mexico for the summer I also did it over that distance. Strange as it is as I never get headackes so when three days after my daughter intervention I had a similar (bad) headacke I texted her (still in Mexico) to ask did she still had that headacke. Her reply was that her daughter (my granddaughter) had one and their discussion of my actions a few day before; Chloe went away and though of her grandfather (me) and send it to me to remove. When I knew it was her and she had a deep mental contact with me I think (didn t ask and she didn t say) I removed it.
Ok, the exercise to understand the strength of the mind (Muscle Memory or subconscious mind)
You will do as I suggest and after when you try to repeat the exercise you will not be able to touch the wall.. You may do it again and again but the subconscious mind will always stop you
. However, at the end of this blog I will explain what you have to do to repeat it.. It is your body and the subconscious mind not allowing you to repeat the action.
So standing in front of a wall at a distance that with outstretch arms you can put your hand on the wall with your palm and all fingers touching the wall. If you are right hand do this with the right arm extended parallel to the floor as you stand straight on your two feet facing the wall. Without moving your feet position, now remove your hand and bring it back to your face and join your other hand as if saying a prayer. Now taking your opposite hand and touch your elbow of the hand which was on the wall. Rub it as if you have a sore. Now extend out your hand and try to touch the wall. You can not.. maybe just a few inches stopping you.. Why..???
If you have not moved your feet and are still standing straight you will find that as you entend your arm to touch the wall your hand does not reach the wall and you can not touch the wall. Yes, maybe you can bend your fingers and touch the wall but as your hand was flat on the wall you can not touch the wall. Why ? Try it as many times as you wish but until you read the end of the blog and do one more action you will not be able to touch the wall after your "Wall,pray,elbow" action.
This is the same for the children learning the multiplication table by memory or the lawn bowler doing a delivery with "Line of Aim". When you use a mental power you will depend upon that mental (subconscious) power until you have taught yourself (or that subconscious) to not apply that same power. The children in learning to multiply and not remember the answer but calculate the answer so also the lawn bowl "Line of Aim" is a crutch which you put confidence in and will always be your easy way to doing the action. For this reason many lawn bowl athletes still "Check their Line" but not as an "Aim" but a remainder it is ok with the body alignment in that direction...
This blog with take you through two Youtube videos and study the athletes and their performance and see how they have calculated their delivery weight and line. You will see different countries teaching different methods of subconscious control or communication toward the "Pre-Shot" short delivery. Some of the players will have longer "Pre-Shot" but body language study will show their work on Line, Weight and Now of the "LaWN" (or "LaWn", (my acronym)).
Working on this blog... but try the Hand on wall exercise and be patience. as with the tree alone on the rock if you decide to develop your Pre-Shot as part of your removal of the "Line of Aim" method of delivery you will also learn that the subconscious mind does a lot for us and against us.. Try that exercise and be surprised that you can not touch the wall and wait until this blog is finished
(maybe by the end of October unless my health pushes it farther).
