It only took me a week to learn meditation, a common exercise practiced among the people of Sundanar and Bhadjarath. Don't let the seemingly straightforward nature of this exercise trick you - noticeable results only come with experience.
Unfortunately, I never had the patience for hours-long training sessions, a vital prerequisite for reaching the true mastery. Each person has to decide for themselves how much effort they are willing to put into untapping their full potential. I personally found the prospect of sacrificing a few years of my life to bothersome.
Health is strengthened by tempering, tendons - by running, and muscles - by lifting weights. These exercises unquestionably prepare a warrior for hardships. However, they, as all things corporeal, have their limit. This final obstacle, which prevents the full extent of inner power from manifesting, lies within the mind. Once this limit is broken the warrior is no longer a slave to their body, instead putting it at the service of pure Willpower.
