| Board and Brick Breaking |
|
What Does Breaking a Board Represent? The board or brick represent every situation in your life where you give less than 100%, or shrink back because you feel intimidated. With awareness, the board or brick can become merely an obstacle between you and your goal. Acknowledging your fears and anxieties, shut down the limiting program: “shut up!” Subsequently create positive programming that says,” I can do this! I will do this! I must do this!” It is not a negative situation- it is a challenge.

Breaking boards and bricks with your bare hands might seem like an impossible thing to do, yet it actually requires very little strength if the correct technique is used. We teach people to break boards and bricks with their bare hands to demonstrate how the ego continually limits us.
The ego would have us think that only someone extensively trained in martial arts can break bricks and boards. Ego controls energy. If we label a task disagreeable, ego limits our energy. Conversely, when something agreeable comes into our lives, suddenly ego is able to liberate huge amounts of energy.
