I am so amazed by Kim Yu Na in last night's perfect performance!
She "flew" on ice like some sort of angel or fairy. In that moment, all she did was skated on freely and effortlessly, she was a free spirit with all the unlimited power she ever needed. There's nothing to hold her back nor she has anything to hold onto.
Being a figure skater means being non-resistance. It means you are in the flow with the surrounding and power, you don't control or stress it, you simply become part of the flow - make yourself glide on ice. It means you throw away all the fear of falling and the fear of losing, there's no more worry because you become a part of the place. Your mind and body and the surrounding all come together into one because you don't fight the surrounding, instead you let it carries you around, so you skate and glide freely. It means carry yourself with all your energy and concentration to do every moves - while without thinking too hard about it, like doing a sort of meditation, you place your whole heart into this natural state where you become this medium delivering the jumps and moves you grew onto after million times of practice. Lastly, it means you live in the present because there's only "now" for you to skate, not in the past practice nor in the unknown future. There would be no worry, no fear, no anxiety, no anger but only joyfulness in the present. You have the chance to skate NOW and this is what you are and all that matters. You would then enjoy every moment of the present and live free!
If we can all live our lives like a figure skater, we can all be free of any sufferings and all be fill with success and happiness!
