Thread: CanisLucidus' Workbook

Aww great job Canis!

HAHAHAHAAHA FLYING BUTTNAKED FTW! I really am hoping to be able to try the wind thing, where if it blows against you, imagine that you're going the wrong way and it's leading you.

Thanks Paige!!

And talking to you reminds me of something! Would Avatar: The Last Airbender contain good source material for air and wind control? I mean, it's got "Airbender" right there in the title. I know that you've pulled off loads of waterbending in your LDs, but do you have any luck with air?

Anyway, in the meantime I'll save my delusions of grandeur for later and more go with the flow like you're describing. Assuming I don't get caught up in the moment in the next LD, which I do tend to let happen, heh heh heh...

Oh for sure!! It's got awesome air control concepts. And the best thing about it is that controlling it requires movement of your body, making it an extension of you – rather than controlling it with your mind. So that, imo, adds awesomeness and an overall realistic feel. And I have airbended (airbent?) a few times, though i really do suck at it, haha. I've tried airbending the air in the lungs of a dream character, totally felt legit!

You guys rock! Okay, that gives me plenty, plenty of stuff to try. So in addition to my current top approach of just going with the wind and imagining that it's taking me somewhere great, I've got these additional excellent ideas to work with:
-Airbending (gonna need to Netflix some Avatar!)
-Verbally command the wind (I'll need to wear down a schema I have that convinces me it's difficult to speak in high wind)
-Make myself as aerodynamic as a bullet so the wind has no effect on me
-Create a force bubble where I'm completely shielded from the wind
-Edit: Imagine the air calming and everything going completely still (thanks to dragonmaster21)

I think that even if one of these works I'll want to try them all at some point!

Ya know, I think the most important thing is to really "feel" that no obstacle will stand in your way. In my own experience, if I feel that, an idea or solution will present itself. Things just seem easier when you don't see them as difficult. Exercise metaphor: Running up a hill, while feeling that it is easy, despite sweating, huffing and puffing. You will take your body to the limit, and that is the point! I heard somewhere that the mind quits long before the body does. In other words, we think we can't because we have never done it before. I'm sure you will conquer it soon enough, your approach is always impeccable.
