The Secret of SpeedFinding the "Incredible Lightness"By Jamie

In my essay "Discover Your Discomfort", I urged you to become aware of
the sensations of discomfort you experience while practicing and
playing. The reason is very simple. Until you do, you will not be able
to be aware of the sensations (that is, your mental awareness of the
physical feelings in your body) a good player has, the sensations that
you must have to play well. I call this sensation, or feeling in the
body, "The Incredible Lightness". I call it this, because once you
experience it, and allow it to grow by Correct Practicing, well, it's
Incredible. This feeling of lightness is what makes fast, accurate
playing possible. Unfortunately, because of ignorance of how to
practice correctly, far too many players create for themselves "The
Incredible Tightness".
