Meditation
"When I play great golf I think very little,
when I play exceptional golf I don't think at all" - Bobby Jones
chi-power GOLF meditation exercises are proven to help you relax by deepening and slowing down your breathing, which in turn minimizes the internal dialogue, stopping the negative thought-chains that so often arise after playing a few poor shots.
This mental interference is as damaging to the performance of a professional player as it is damaging to the performance of 32 handicap player, 11 handicap player, 4 handicap player and so forth.
Once you learn to minimize the destructive effects of anxiety and return to a calmer more neutral state, you will have entered the realm of 'the Zone' where your level of skill and your passion for the game can be expressed with freedom and confidence, without 'getting in your own way'.
chi-power GOLF employs the use of simple meditation exercises from the East to encourage mindfulness of breathing, mental relaxation and the reduction of performance anxiety, especially when the pressure is on you to produce a good shot.
Research shows the more relaxed you are and the more quiet your mind is when making a crucial shot - like driving off on the first tee or putting to birdie a hole - the more chance you have of playing a shot that is fluid, powerful and effortless.
We also employ exercises from Tai Chi (a form of 'moving meditation') to help you unite mind and body, achieve better balance and more relaxation at address.
Every golfer who practises these drills on a regular basis experiences more freedom around the course, develops better ball striking abilities and wins more games.
