Zen archery with Ben *

In meditative Zen archery with Benjamin

Schaub, the focus is entirely on mindfulness in the

movement. It's not about performance, pressure or

competition.

- The philosophy: We shoot for the sake of shooting

not for the sake of hitting the target.

- The experience: The bow becomes a mirror of your own

inner constitution. The focus is on your

breathing, a firm, conscious stance and

controlled body tension. The moment in which

the string is released becomes an act of pure

release. The hit on the target is

negligible - what counts is the absolute presence in the

here and now.
