「Like The Wind」- How To Achieve Flow State

"Have you ever read the poetry of the great Air Bending Guru Laghima? Guru Laghima lived 4000 years ago in the Northern Air Temple. It is said, that he unlocked the secret of weightlessness and became untethered from the Earth. Living his final 40 yrs...without ever touching the ground!"
Zaheer
There's a lot of Chinese Philosophy within Legend of Korra. In this video Zaheer (Alan Watts) talks about how to "ride the wind" and to let go of [your] problems and anxieties to truly become the Avatar [True Self]. By finding your rhythm or flow in life, and within the things you do, one can truly overcome life's toughest challenges over time.

Zaheer would have been the most elite airbender ever if he would have had more time with it

[@Dragonflyjones67]

He was an elite Airbender! He just wasn't on Tenzin level of experience.

If only he followed the words of Guru Laghima better

[@scottgillings5930]

? He is still alive and airbending in prison, still got plenty of time to become the greatest ever

[@jankoleon3785]

I mean he can meditate into the spirit world though and the spirit portals are open so why don't he just meditate into the spirit world , Ask some spirits for help, and ask them them to go into the human world and break him out from prison ?

[@gerardadri9389]

Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void. Empty and become wind. - This cannot go unmentioned underneath this video.

[@somekid7]

I had a friend who glorified instinct and mentioned it constantly. He was raised by physically abusive drug addicts and always had trouble getting ahead in life. Eventually the fear consumed him and he became more and more alone. He also expressed violent thoughts often in public. I understand, since much of my fear/anxiety/distrust/misanthropy also comes from an abusive childhood, but luckily I haven't been consumed by it. I had to get away from him despite how he was the closest friend I ever had and vice versa.

[@gordonramsay5187]

i just realized he even shaved his head to help his airbending

[@assassinx-rated1440]

4:39 I real life felt this and experienced it obviously I wasn’t flying but the part when he said he didn’t know if he was walking on the wind or if the wind was walking on me. I literally meditated reciting those words. “Let go of your earthly tether. Enter the void. Empty. And become wind.” That sensation is real I definitely felt the part when he said is bodily fluids were melting mine felt like they were on fire but I had no pain

But again that's nothing new for American Characters like Iron Fist , Chang shi , or batman who all learn from Asian tradition even despite social themes each one talks about .

Dont get me wrong toph would destroh tenzin and most characters stronger than zaheer, hell she cou'd beat the red lotus apart from zaheer by herself. But zaheer is a hard counter against hzr

[@VidarActual]

Alan Watts great mentor of the meditation world. Zaheer a man dedicated, consistent, and who reconciles of the attachment of the world to become the very essence of what makes a part of this world. He became space, time, and matter all at once. And the most impressive part of it all is he is self taught. Imagine Guru Tenzin became his teacher my God.

[@RobotHau5]

I'd go so far as to argue Zaheer could be Tenzin's Guru.

[@VidarActual]

@@RobotHau5 I agree to that in the the terms of learning the unorthodox of the bending. But not Tenzin being his student

[@ramonfernandomirandanoguei365]

@@VidarActual When it comes to spiritual matters i think Zaheer could teach a lot to Tenzin, the same way Tenzin could teach Zaheer about the more traditonal ways of airbending...

A guru is a spiritual expert. Tenzin is not a guru, i don't think anyone ever called him that, his a master airbender and a monk.

It was very brutal how P'li died when you think about it. It was quick and she probably didn't feel anything, but just imagine how her body looks after. Her head is actually disintegrated.

I don't understand, I let go my earthly tether. I became empty, I entered the void. Why I cant become wind? If I cant free myself from my own spirit, I might aswell free myself from my body.

[@RobotHau5]

My friend I too have things that haunt me. If i'm to be honest I recently had nightmares about things that have haunted me since childhood. Bad things. I don't know yours but one thing I can say is that its not about becoming void. 3:45 - I added this part without the music, because this is the highlight that I think we all miss. Its the part about acceptance. The most difficult part. In the movie Doctor Strange, the sorcerer supreme mentions how we don't learn to defeat our demons, but that we only learn to live above them. If you've seen it, [spoiler alert] she's using that same dark energy to her advantage. Its kinda like we have to learn to use that energy. How? Well bro it takes a lot of energy and effort to 'free yourself from your body' but the truth you gotta learn to see is that same energy can bring you much more if you control it. Here's a video that I literally just came from watching. I hope it helps, and sorry for the long response.
