Mushin

Mushin is defined as a state of warrior or practitioner of an art being in such a state that they are without thought. They are calm, collected and are in a state of just being. In other words they don't think, they just do. They are in a state where there is no emotion, ego or fear. Everything flows like water in a stream. This state is not just for combat. A person in this state can be doing kata, everyday activities or work. The point is it is a state where all distractions cease to exist and only true purpose takes over the entire being. Pretty deep stuff....
