Shradhapn:

O.K., I can't resist- the answer to your question is simple; DON'T DO IT!

In all seriousness- it would be difficult to say at this point. However, my best guess from miles away given only a very tiny piece of information would be that you quite simply ****don't trust the process**** yet. If you don't trust the process, why of course you will try to step in and "take charge" at the last second, correct?

So how does one get a student (or oneself) to "let go" and "trust the process?" You can't. Not directly.

What you must do is fire 10,000 shots where you focus completely on trusting the process and the unconscious release.

During the first 1,000 attempts, you will succeed only 100 times. During the last 1,000 attempts, you will fail only 100 times.

You can speed up the process by focusing harder on the perfect subconscious release- and put the gun down the instant you begin thinking about releasing the shot. And by shooting SHORTER (not longer) sessions where your concentration is at a higher level.

You can slow the process down considerably by doing just about anything else.

This problem is more prevelent than many will admit.

Steve, of course, has the answer and that is what we are all trying to do. The only difference is the degree to which we loose our concentration and the number of times it happens.

That determines where we are on the road to success.

Sorry about the multiple postings. My computer has a mind of it's own.
