Spirit in Sport: maximum performance and sport area

Book Intro (Prologue)
By Fiona Taylor, 1992 Olympic, mystical, coach and former World Champion Windsurfer

"The board glides through the water.
Under my feet the top is much lighter and more sensitive. It is merely an extension of me
there is no resistance.
Sailing is an extension of my upper body. It feels comfortable.
The platform feels right. Responds effortlessly with the increase in the wind.
My body feels poor and strong.
I love being in the water. I love being here.
I have inside knowledge of what it is today. I am home in the water.
The wind, waves and water are my friends.
I am at one with them.
Unit. Without hesitation – only inspiration
A sense of lightness of being.
Joy an outpouring of energy and accelerate in a burst of 3 knots … … …
Huy. I am free.
The start signal is about six minutes to go.
My timer is set for 6 minutes the countdown to the start.
It is the wind and me.
There are other boards around. I know who they are, and I know I do not know this place like them and I'm going to win this race. There is no doubt.
My attention is focused on just being in the moment ..
I'm thinking.
Only I'm sorry. It all seems surreal, my focus is not on anything "but simply being one with all that is.
Intuitively I approach the line. I have chosen where I started.
No one is in my way. I claimed my starting position.
As I look up the wind toward the windward mark, the wind has remained stable. I have a career plan and be fair. I'm just as far.
Bang – the output signal, with four bombs that I'm out of line with a clear principle.
I'm fast, I'm faster than the wind slides board up … … … … …
My attention is focused on being one with the wind, like me around of the windward mark first.
My focus is on the feeling of light and in harmony with the board. I'm so far now that I can still fully navigate free, me and the wind without the need to protect my position behind me windsurfers. This race is mine. I knew it was before … …
I love windsurfing … … I love being alone here in the ocean … … … .. "

This was the natural state that I had when I spent all his time free from my days in the Bay Yacht Club as a young teenager Davey.

In 1983 I was one year old who spent 12 whole summer, either water pool, snorkeling or boat. My father had introduced me to sailing as a child and I was thrown into a clog that is about 7 feet long with a small candle. It is the first ship usually the children learn in. My sister and I used to call them hot tubs. Dad bought a clog of my sisters and I set sail and we called 'Bubbles'. Bubbles was a clog robust, heavy and slow.
I was the middle child of three girls and my older sister Anna was three years older than me, so I have to steer the boat, and I was the crew. I have a vivid memory of Pope sent to sail in Sabot Week Frankston Yacht Club when he was 9 years. The first race of Anna and I spent arguing and fighting in which way to go and it was better to steer the boat. We were so absorbed in our own chaos that we had no awareness that the rest of the fleet.
After a while a rescue boat came to us, as we said it ended the race (like all the other boats were finishing) and it would be better to return to shore. He had not yet done so because the first mark were absorbed in trying to get our own way in our boat. After I realized it really was more suited to navigate on my own, and was much happier that way, be my own person and make my own decisions.
Shortly after that, when I was 12 the sport of windsurfing came and the "new" to do. In 1983 and 1984, more and more people in the yacht club and other clubs started windsurfing and there soon was a regular weekend windsurfing race was attracting more people than clog candle.

Our good friends lent me the Gold his sailboard and gave me my first go at it. I could barely reach the height of when I started, and as a child of 12 years I had to use older equipment with the candle, as manufacturers had not yet made tables for the kids. My fierce determination allowed me to ignore the bruises, cuts and sore hands for keep trying to pull the sail out of the water. I finally did, with the support of the beach that prompted me. The first time I managed to get going and slipped along the surface of the water that was at the top. I could only go to 20 meters before it fell, but that was enough to get the feeling of it. Me hooked on the thrill of surfing through the water on my own.

I used to take some time to pull the sail out of water because I was small, but once stood and you all seemed as natural to me. I had a natural feeling of the board and wind and by the end of that summer seemed to 'click' for me and I could sail in all directions, go where I wanted to go, and more importantly back to the beach! I lost count of how many times I fell in on, crashed, dropped the candle or got stuck in the middle of the sea that need to be rescued. One thing that worked for me was that he had no fear Tues We have grown from 200 meters from the beach on the Mornington Peninsula and I learned to swim at an early age. In fact, I felt more at home or in the water than on land.
In late summer the family that Mom bought our first windsurfing second hand. But you can guess who used it most of the time. My sisters poor mom and dad had to work very hard for me to be away from her, and actually have a chance to use it. Soon all my friends and me at the Yacht Club were having fun, windsurfers around, trying new things, new tricks and racing against each other every weekend.

I am eternally grateful to the wonderful support I received from members in the Bay Yacht Club Davey. Everyone was so supportive to help me learn to windsurf. Shortly after I started racing start to win races. Men and women of all ages entered. I vividly remember navigating to the finish line and I was second coming. Other Ashley was winning the career and was some 50 meters ahead with only 200 yards from the goal. The finish line was just inside the cliff where the wind began to shear away and get gusting. I naturally keep an eye on where the wind gusts were coming next. I could see Ashley sailing a little too near the cliff, despite that was a more direct route to the finish line. But there was less wind, so I decided to stay on the run a little farther, then turn to the finish line inside the cliff in the last minute. This paid off and I passed him and won the race. He had not seen me coming and was surprised to see me I passed him. No doubt he was stronger than me and had good knowledge of windsurfing, but I was able to read more wind in the day. I ran home and told mom that I had won the race. His comment was: "Gee dear, were you the only one in the race?"

Such faith than I thought. But mother and father soon realized that winning the race at the club was a weekly occurrence for me. Then I moved to the race of regional clubs and on days 120 windsurfers turn to race, people of all sizes and skills. I ended up winning those too, to the surprise of all the boys hard on the art equipment and faster. But again was my ability to read the wind shifts that enabled me to win races. In the early days, many of the people who started windsurfing not come from a sailing and tactical depth knowledge and understanding of the wind and therefore could not understand why I usually win, although I was 13 and was 25.

From the beginning windsurfer always with the kids and always aimed at the whole world playing. Because I never saw it as low ability or lesser extent by a girl. And in older men and women ran together but were scored individually, so you could be "the first woman" or first "man." When I was 14 years I had the opportunity to compete in the Australian Windsurfing Championships in Adelaide. Mom and dad decided to take a family vacation out of it and we went through over to Glenelg in January of that year. I had recently placed third in the women's event at the State Championship, but the Nationals were a little more daunting and Glenelg sea waves brought me to pain in the downwind legs. Anyway, I met some wonderful fellow competitors that I made friends and put on 8 th year. From 1986-1990 I won several championships in Australia Open. During that time I went out and windsurfing around all by myself as training and had no coach or lessons or tips from anyone. I go about this on my own and did well, and never really won anything discussed about my performance. I've seen and learned and only did what I always did, I felt I always felt and had an undeniable knowing that I was the best out there and that I would win.
And I did. Space it was when I ran was like being on autopilot, I felt the wind, I felt when turning or twisting, I did not "think" about it.

In 1988, the International Yacht Racing Union had managed to include women's windsurfing as a full medal sport to be introduced in Olympics 1992 in Barcelona. The men's windsurfing event was included in 1988 and the sport was a demonstration sport at the Olympic Games Los Angeles in 1984. I was studying in 1988 for my VCE (School Year 12), in my last year of High School and was the number one in Australia. I decided to go after the Olympics , 1992.

During my senior year of high school after school was windsurfing every night to train the World Youth (Under 19) Championships of Spain in July this year. I had been selected to go, and the whole trip was funded by the Australian team. It was my first international event and the standard was very high. There was a coach who was new to me as a coach never had before. It was a nice guy but focused primarily on the classes of ships, and did not know Mistral Windsurfing much about class as David left, my fellow male counterparts, and me to do our own thing. David was a brilliant windsurfer won all races at the World Youth and won only one, to finish sixth overall. I returned to Australia, back to the task and the world of school.

By finishing high school mom and dad were worried once I can get proper education and not be side tracked at windsurfing this. "But nevertheless I convinced them I was going to travel for a year abroad, compete in some events, work and have some fun before returning the next year to start university.
My first event after high school was in Palermo, Sicily. It Windsurfer World Championship Team where they have two men and one woman from each country. We the final against the team of Sicily and there was much cheering from the sidelines for the Sicilian side. A boat floatilla came to see how it ran best three races. The latter was reduced to a grueling race victory, which won the team won the event. I came ahead of Sicilian girl and all I had to do was cross the finish line and won the race. However, the Sicilian team wanted to win at all costs' and Alfredo decided in favor of wind to sail and test and not allow me to cross the finish line prior Giard, the female members of his team. Team tactics can be quite unpleasant, especially in Sicily, where the committee race had a reputation for turning a blind eye to what had happened. There was much shouting as Alfredo fell and literally pushed her head boom try to knock me out. At the end I dropped my candle can not attend my height towards the finish line and crossed Giard ahead of me. It was pretty obvious to all other teams and the boat jury that Alfredo had broken a rule. After much commotion and screaming in Italian and English the flag of protest arose. We had no choice but to protest. After two hours of testimony the jury awarded us the victory. This was a good start to my first over seas campaign to win the World Windsurfing Team Elysees. From 1985-1999 I won a total of seven world titles in the Windsurfer windsurfing and Mistral classes and thirteen titles in Australia. There were many occasions where I felt in my area and magic, where winning is easy and enjoyable.

But there were times, particularly since 1994 where he lost my magic and sense of feeling. I had an illness, injury and chaos that he could not specify the origin and the flame of my inspiration is gone. By the time he retired in 1999 I was angry and exhausted feeling that I had never really realized my dream of gold medal, especially when I knew he had the willingness and ability to achieve natural same.

Upon retiring from the windsurfing competition in late 1999 threw me directly to a corporate sales function. It was the first time he had been an employee full-time business environment. During my surfing I had my own event management business and has been self-employed since I was 17, so I was used to be my own boss. Within a year I realized that I was not suited to work for a work of great company and decided to go back and do marketing and sales instead of contract.

Until this point in my life I had lived with the clarity of purpose. Made decisions and had the determination to make them happen. But in 2000 and 2001, everything he touched seemed to fail. Within 12 months ended my relationship, my health had deteriorated considerably and our customers had no paid me that sent me into the red financially. My stomach was swollen, I had pain in the pancreas and liver all the time, my face had swollen up. I was now twenty kilos of weight. I felt terrible. My self-esteem dropped. Financially I worked a sales contract after the other trying to play "catch up" financially. I worked seven days a week. As a result, completely burned me – emotionally, physically and spiritually.

During this time I've read all the books he could find about health, psychology and spirituality. I attended workshop after workshop, including Qi-gong, emotional freedom technique, consistency the heart, quantum physics, sacred geometry, spiritual and emotional manifestation of intelligence. I was spending more than twenty hours per week research. I was desperately searching for answers.

Then I went to a doctor practicing Western medicine and Eastern threw the book at me. He said my body was shutting down. He said it was a toxic waste dump. My lymph system was not working efficiently. I had an accumulation of cells of cancer in my body. He wanted me to be in a strict diet and treatment every week in his clinic to get me back to health. At that time I had no money to or pay for extra vitamins, not to mention weekly treatment. I was under great stress and as a result had begun to drink too much alcohol. During a period of eight months had buried all my pain in drinking water to numb myself from feeling.

When I left the medical clinic that day, after that he threw the book at me, deep down I knew that although he did everything he told me to do, would not have made any difference. A voice inside me said I had to find the answer in the spiritual level. I felt that little by little I was going to die if you do not find spiritual response. And I was so tired when I did not care if I am dead. In fact when all I wanted to do was curl up in bed to sleep and not wake up.

My search continued and I went to a healer naturapath who made a chakra balancing and helped me clean my body in the astral level. This seemed to help me for a short time. Very soon after this I went to Sydney for meet a French lady who had a new electro-magnetic machine that could bring back his spirit into the body properly. I was willing to try anything at this time. When I arrived at his clinic, I clung to these two metal loops and told me my spirit was eight feet away from my body. In other words I was not spiritually grounded and balanced. Somehow my mind was back in my body. Within two minutes of my lymphatic system and move began to gurgle. I went to the bathroom a dozen times that day emptying of liquids. Certainly he was more grounded after treatment.

But it is still part I kept deep in search of answers. My stomach was swollen and still had constant pain in my pancreas, like a knife in my back. A year before I had a prolapsed disc and had a knee reconstruction to repair my ACL I broke snow skiing. "I never felt the same since anti-drugs infalammatory to my prolapsed disc. These lesions also had made me lose confidence in my physical ability to exercise. As a result, I had lost all the fitness I had assumed in all my years of windsurfing.

Finally I met a counselor Yvonne Espinoza metaphysical and mystic who also worked as a corporate trainer in Melbourne. In a session with her, she cleared my energy field (aura, a field of mind, the astral and spiritual level). Immediately after cleared my energy field changed my hips back to its correct position and the pain was from my pancreas.
She told me to rest later and I went home and had a deep and restful sleep I had had for a long time. A week ago I had my first mystical experience I had in on the nature and past life of the soul.

I sat in a cafe with Yvonne and we were talking about what could be the cause of my bloated stomach. We talked a lot about what had happened to me in this life, including several operations I'd had when they were babies and children in my small intestine. (A the four weeks of life the doctors cut a fifth of my small intestine due to a cyst. Then I had plastic surgery in the scar tissue that extend right through my stomach when I was eight.) The responses do not seem to reside in this life. After my mouth was "I think I've been stabbed in another life. "
Yvonne, being a mystic, was able to tune my soul history and access to relevant information at that level. She said that I had been in disembowled a battlefield like a soldier. Immediately I felt a shiver up my spine when I saw glimpses of this life last. I went home and went to bed. I was exhausted. For more than two hours this past life trauma was released from my memory on a soul level. My body shook and shook and twisted as the memory was released through cell of my physical body. This is called a physical catharsis. All he could do was to surrender to it and deliberately allowed to happen. Meanwhile, I had the images and visual memories of being disembowled. It was physically painful, but very overwhelming and exhausting.
After meeting this memory of my body literally transformed. My stomach was three inches, all the aches and pains that had been feeling for two years gone. My face is changed back to normal and I felt spiritually grounded for the first time in over three years.
The physical change my body was so deep that my neighbor saw me the next morning and could not believe immediately change my appearance. That's when I realized that if the change in the level of the mind-matter, in this case the level of the unconscious – the soul, our body can change instantly. A friend of mine had also done this herself when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She in tune with his soul to get me the answers. Received responses and the energy released (in mind) that caused the tumor in the first place. X-rays came back from a week later and had his brain tumor disappeared.

I had read a lot of material including books by Dr. Valerie Hunt, Foundation Bio-energy fields and Professor William Tiller, Chief of materials science at Stanford University, who confirmed that mind precedes matter. I had read that we create our own reality with our thoughts our feelings. But it was not until I connected with my soul I realize the truth, yes, we create reality. The good, the bad and big.

(Scientists Quantum have confirmed since the 1920s that we create our reality. Spiritual mystics and teachers throughout time have told us that, indeed, we our own reality. The mind / body / spirit and the New Age movement have repeated over and over again that what we think, bring. It is only when we connect with our intuition Spiritual us realize the truth of this. The rational mind or ego, can not understand that we create our reality.)

From now on I can connect again with my spiritual intuition and inner guidance of the soul. I was able to wake up all the unconscious themes that had played for me in my surfing career. I realized that that was caused or allowed into chaos, disease and the "bad luck" in the unconscious level when he competed in windsurfing. I am responsible for everything. There was no such thing as bad luck.

During this time I had begun to facilitate workshops on creating and transforming reality of the issues that remain unconscious people back into their lives. My mystical skills returned and I could help others to heal past life affecting your current reality. (A mystic is someone who can access to information at ground level while remaining Alma physical reality. Information on the level of the soul vibrates at a higher frequency that the information we receive through our five senses.) I realized that two of every three customers had profound themes Soul playing for them that originated from another lifehood (Or past lives). Once cured these issues in more depth the reality would change instantly. Would be free of pain and fear.

My clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentience returned and I was able to communicate with the Arc Angels again. I had had this ability as a child, but had lost in my teens. This allowed me to help people heal physical ailments with helping them to understand intellectually the source of your pain and crisis. May vibrate so they could access to this information and transform awareness.

I had read as much as I could find in emotions and emotional intelligence and one of the people who discussed the emotions in a way that I understand them, and had worked with them was Dr. Valerie Hunt. It had also helped people to heal past life (or lifehood) themes. She understood the nature of emotions held at the level of soul that were profound and deep as all the other perceptions and behavior. She shares in her book Infinite Mind over forty years of research into the human energy field (mind) and the spiritual nature of who we are. He said emotions was the organizer of the field of energy (mind). His work greatly appealed to me as it mixes the scientific with the spiritual and eternal nature of who we are.

I realized that it could change limiting beliefs, who lived in the subconscious and the unconscious mind, using the power of the conscious mind alone. I discussed it with two friends who had NLP experts and hypnotherapists who had also done work deeper spiritual healing themselves. Both agreed that it could not cure these deeper issues without going first to find the cause of the subject – the origin of behavior.
You could Use auto claims until the cows home, but will not change the behavior unconscious. traditional psychology does not discuss the nature of "past lives" or the fact that they are multi-dimensional in nature. And most psychologists help people from the perspective that they are victims of their reality, rather than fact that they create their reality. So treat symptoms and not the cause.

After healing my own songs soul was finally free of regret and disappointment of not achieving my dream of Olympic gold. I thought of all those athletes who had retired from the sport never have realized their dreams. If I had understood and healed my unconscious themes (beliefs and emotional wounds) while I was in my heyday in the windsurfing. What could have reached if he had no sabotage reached performance?
I thought the athletes who have "accidents", "disease" or are seconds when they have the chance to win. Should these athletes heal their own unconscious beliefs that could change their reality and the results quickly.

The times we had won in the windsurfing I realized they were times when I was physically, emotionally and spiritually consistent. When I was in the flow when everything seemed easy, I was connected spiritually. My head was present and I was more of a feeling rather than thinking about a state of mind. For me to be in the area was a spiritual experience.

In 2004 I decided to write a book about the nature of the "spirit of sport." Instead of simply sharing my own story I wanted to talk to other athletes about their own experience area staff. I was intrigued about whether or not other athletes felt that the area was a "spiritual experience."

After talking with other Athletes I realized that each had its own understanding of how the mind works, his own relationship with his own mind, the ego, the spirit and source superior or God. Some athletes referred to the area as fully prepared and do the training necessary to win. Others suggested it was when they were able to concentrate mentally no fluctuation in his head. While the other shared that his experience in the area was more spiritual or out of body experience.

In my book, Spirit Sport'I share some of my experiences and those of fellow world and Olympic champions on the sports area. There are times where I share my story from the viewpoint Me, the sailor and sometimes I put on my teaching hat and share from my perspective now – Fiona the mystic.

From the perspective of an athlete I realize that all I really want to do as an athlete is to reach our dreams, whether to win, to be three to ten. As an athlete who is totally focused on my training and competition schedule. I plan four years ahead of every Olympiad.

Whereas today I can look back with hindsight and luxury of seeing my windsurfing career through the eyes of the evolution of my own soul. I understand the nature of soul purpose, time, divine and spiritual lessons I needed to learn.

That leads me to ask the following questions:

What makes great athletes face simply good?

"We are predestined to be great, or if we become great?
Why some people have more chaos than others? "
What are the spiritual lessons to learn in this life?
Can we change our destiny?
Can we fast track our evolution?

These are all questions we all ask at some point in our lives. They are great athletes over time was born to be great or is it pure coincidence that they are great?
If we see our life through the eyes of the self of the ego, or sound mind, do not know. But if we connect with our soul Being our greatest story, we are able to feel our divine truth and soul purpose, whether it be a great athlete or just being a competitor and learn on the road. If we are responsible for creating our own reality we can transform any subject unaware that they are on the way to win much faster than if we deny that we have.

From the viewpoint of our history chose Alma of our life before incarnating. In our highest level of play we choose the major events and victories in our career and any chaos we live. Chaos provides experience to learn and grow. For chaos and a challenge without the ego experiences very little growth in consciousness.

We all have a bigger story, a purpose divine soul with spiritual lessons to learn in this life.
Sport offers a playground for this learning, growth and self-consciousness.

It is postulated indicating the ability to experience the area in the sport, and play the optimum performance over and over again, refers to a person's level of consciousness. The most evolved spiritually we are, the higher our level of consciousness. The more we can gain power in the universal / spiritual level we can access the area.

This brings us to the nature of true vs. Force. When I personally visited the state in my area of windsurfing I was "spiritually powerful, as if it were connected all that is. In my book, I have written about this as authentic power rather than force when we feel we're forcing things to happen. Authentic power feels effortless.

When we compete with the pure desire of the soul and spirit that not only achieve greatness in the sport that we live a fulfilling and rewarding life.

I share my story and 15 other world and Olympic champions in my book "Spirit in Sport. The book is for fellow athletes, coaches, psychologists, and sports enthusiasts who want to discover the "missing pieces of the puzzle" in performance.
