IMA in normal life

[nzric]

How has practicing IMA influenced the way you behave/move and your reactions during normal daily life?

I'm an extremely heavy sleeper, but lately I find that certain sounds (like a door opening or glass breaking) makes me awake/alert and out of bed instantly, even at 3am. This is a new thing because I'm usually dead to the world before my weetbix and a couple of coffees.

Also, I've had some experiences where, e.g. a bird flying in my face or my girlfriend sneaking up on me has made me go into sung and focus my energy to an attack (which can be pretty embarrasing).

I guess your scences just become more aware.

yes

IMA does awaken the sences to many unnatural noises suprises and the such. with this it is a natural reaction in putting you energy in defence or attack, but you should never be embarassed about it unless you follow through on your attack before you know what or who your attacking.
