ChiBounding: An Experimental Stop MotionVideo Showing 3 Things

[THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE TITLES ARE BLOTCHY BUT THEN IT CLEARS UP RIGHT AWAY. An associated written blog entry can be found immediately below.]



Well, here I am in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, with no rebounder of any sort...but I can still experiment with chibounding viideo!

So, sometime last week I shot some video, of which I'd like to put up the whole 25 minute sequence.

[I know it can be hard to imagine what I do with all that time day after day after day for thousands of days. That's why I will occasionally put up longer sequences,  to give an idea of what one person's long rebounding/chibounding session might look like after five years of daily bouncing.]

But in the meantime, here's an excerpt, with the stop motion video filter from Final Cut aplied. I'm not sure if this works, really, so I'd love some feedback on whether the use of this filter is actually a plus or not.

So, I speak about three things in this video. First, I start exploring the "force flux" hypothesis and what I am coming to believe is the real reason that rebounding is so effective in many ways. Basically, one's body basically consists of mass, that mass is obviously moved through space over a duration of time when bouncing, and therefore, notwithstanding the "assist" of the rebounder's elastic components, one is doing a lot of work and using a lot of power when rebounding. (When the change of direction -- the accelerative thrust -- of discplacing body parts includign arms is taken into account, this kind of work and power go to an even higher level.)

Note, too, that while you can generate or have a lot of power flow through you, it is relatively easy to do so--this has to do with one of the only real conclusions that NASA put forth in their early study on rebounding, that it is a highly efficient activity when oxygen consumption is looked at vis-a-vis total work output. Also, it not only tends to not hurt the knees or other soft tissue, it actually presents a chance to do healing work on these...but that's another story.

Second, I took about the value and benefits of "letting go" at the top of the bounce. By doing so, by really giving "in and down" to gravity, by completely relaxing, you can have a much more coherent fluidic and wave-like experience and you can bounce both higher and better.

Finally, I begin -- and just begin -- to broach the notion of "GodBouncing." [It's going to be a while before GodBouncing.com is needed, but just you wait, 'enry 'iggins.]

If, for example, you see me near the 3-minute mark as a multi-armed Shiva, that is, if you can see me as emobdying the god-form of Shiva (or your favorite multi-armed Hindu or Budhist deity), you can see how it would be possible to in effect "become" or "dance as" a particular god-form. You can meditate on the god-form of your choice, perhaps meditating before or during, or breathing "as if" the god-form, and you can embody the energy that the god-form of your choice represents.

Taking GodBouncing in another way, as you bounce you -- your mass, your body, the physicality of you -- becomes the object that is being bounced. That is, God is doing the bouncing -- God/Goddess/AllThatIs is bouncing you -- rather than you willfully bouncing. This is a more advanced, almost a kind of non-dual, bouncing that I didn't really start experiencing until my third or so year. Some of you who are serious meditators will, I'm sure, be able to have this experience much earlier in your bouncing experience.

Well, that's enough for now. Thanks for watching, and please, when it's time for you to make a move to a Bellicon rebounder, give me a shout either here, at Enlightenment.Com, or at EnlightenSource.com.
