[Open] Awareness

[Safira]

• Subject Requested:

Awareness, Sokan or related

• Public/Private Lesson:

Private*

• Availability:

Usually earlier times work better for me

• Reason For Request:

My lack of awareness has been following me around for years, with many members noticing - and pointing it out to me. However, without a knight, it just is challenging to work on the issue alone.

A good example of the type of awareness on my mind would be an excercise master Nil held once. In the pillars room, he would set mines at random hights. Then, he would made us students duel.

The mentioned excercise makes me deal with three different oponents: (multiple) other students, mines with lazers triggering them spread at random hights, and pillars that were either in your way, or you would have to jump on them. Not to mention my own lightsaber, since I have never been the most skilled one with the blade.

In my eyes, it would feel like only one oponent was present and others just were not there.
Not like they weren’t-… just that I was blind to their existence. So while trying to dodge a saber, I would trigger a mine - and then another one trying to dodge the first one.

I have hard time practicing this on my own, since holos JH lets me use seem to have some priorities of engaging me - for instance, when I tried to use both melee and ranged oponent, the ranged one would not fire until the melee one was defeated. But, I am not really good with hologrids or droids: perhaps I just did it wrong.

• Additional Information:

To me, this feels like an issue I will requre a lot of help with, or perhaps repeating over time.

* I set the request to private, but perhaps, that may not be possible, or if the mentor taking on this task deems fit to make multiple sessions, perhaps throughout the time, others will find this useful for their growth.
I am just worried to drag others down, as my pace has always been slow and despite my peers going out of their way to try help me, I guess it still was not enough for me to improve.

I can help with this by sharing how my own experience and training. Though I would recommend you seek the knowledge of many Masters on how to handle expanding your awareness. Seek me out whenever you're ready.
