Gymnastic exercises - must also serve to strengthen the nervous system
The idea of gymnastics is too often associated with care of the physical body, flexibility, muscle development, and so on, even though the nervous system also needs to be supported, strengthened and stimulated if we are to be in good health and have energy. Athletes may have the strongest muscles, but if their nervous system is weakened, exhausted, they will be unable to lift even a bottle of water. Observe yourself and ask yourself why on some days you can be active all through the day or walk ten miles without tiring, and other days you drag yourself about miserably. Your muscles are the same, but you have less nervous energy. With our gymnastic exercises, it is therefore the nervous system we are looking to strengthen, since even our muscular capacity depends on it. And what strengthens and feeds the nervous system? Awareness, faith, the fervour with which you set about a task. If you strive to perform every movement you make with the belief that you are achieving something good and beautiful, your whole day will be influenced positively, for you will have created an inner harmony, which will also be reflected in your behaviour towards those around you.
