Stop thinking so much; it gets in the way

Whether the student practices swordsmanship, archery, caligraphy, or tea ceremony, any conscious understanding of the practice that remains in the mind will only cause conflict during a performance.

From Maku mozo!

Far easier said than done, especially since it takes near-mastery before you can just do.

Strive.
