I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. And may peace and calmness fill your life.

Thank You K9 Ambience. You actually made my week. God Bless you.

yes, that's the relaxation for the eyes, when the psyche is tired of listening to impressive videos with its ears. Thank you that it is not necessary to turn on the hearing here to absorb the video.

[@watchYing23]

Wow. Incredible. 15:50 that blade twirling, even though it's mainly the long handled part, any mistake with the blade phew...

[@J.RomeroLuna]

15:42 the skill and class is on another level. Without a doubt my favorite!

[@mrbfros454]

Pardon my ignorance but the Asian sword dancer was legit one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen a human do.

[@zerodivided3676]

Love these kind of vids. Some fellow humans are so focused and talented - it's great to see. One comment though - please exclude these 'card and billiard'-like entries.... those are, for the most part, just sheer time and luck. I want to see *skill* and talent here. (like number 2 and 1 - it looks great, but anyone can do this with lots of time and some practice)
