Sharpen your senses. Peak your perception. Build climbing instinct and adaptability off the wall from the inside out, so that you can climb your hardest on the wall.
My name is Crystal, and welcome to Attention Climbers.
This is a 3 minute guided meditation (from 4:00 with explanation of "shadow externalisation" prior - would highly recommend you listen to this first :)) to explore a new movement cueing habit - using the shadow of your own foot on a sunny day - that reduces the level of conscious movement micromanagement you use to achieve the movement. Ankle flexion (dorsi and plantarflexion) is a fundamental skill in climbing, so nowhere better than here to begin our practice.
All meditations, including this one, are live, improvised sessions that I record in one-go and participate in myself. Each episode emerges in a unique moment where I need a relaxed but active meditation for immediate stress reduction, AND wanted to ingrain rock-solid climbing instincts. This is where climbing performance and mind-body health - intersect.
Designed for any climber, at any point on your journey, to listen to and follow along with anytime and anywhere you feel safe to relax and be in your body.
Rest day? Check.
Injured but want to still be climbing"? Check.
Pre-climb tune-in? Check.
Mid-session rest-and mental reset? Check.
Post-climb cool down? Check.
Stressy, messy, pressy life moments where you'd rather be climbing? CHECK!
Having a body, a mind, and an attentive state of presence - are all you need.
As always, climb well, be well, and thanks for listening!
