Are You Handed or Are You Centered
Are you right handed or are you left handed. That is what most of us were asked as kids. Harmless, right. That single question may be the quietest and deepest sabotage humanity has ever agreed to. That question has quietly trained billions of us to accept being split in half. What feels like a harmless choice at age five is in truth a command to divide your brain for life.
When we label ourselves right handed or left handed, we accept a divided brain and body. One side strong, one side weak. One side trusted, one side ignored. But what if we are not meant to be handed. What if we are meant to be centered?
Why Would You Want This
Most people chase improvement for speed, accuracy, and mechanics. At first it works because the brain rewards progress with dopamine. Over time the rush fades. The brain is already overloaded by constant stimulation so the drive burns out. That is the invisible ceiling.
- Leapfrogging dopamine fatigue. Switching sides resets the brain. Reawakening your drive.
- Breaking the wall. A plateau is not final. This cracks it open.
- Instinct and creativity. What once felt impossible begins to appear as natural.
- True synchronization. No tricks and no tapes. It is physical and real.
The gains are immediate. Fresh energy, clear focus, and the end of burnout. That is enough on its own, but it is also only the beginning.
How I Discovered This
I did not find this overnight. I have meditated for more than two decades, a practice that began when an injury kept me from doing much else. That same injury forced me to use my non dominant side for daily tasks. It planted the seed.
Years later, while pushing to improve my drawing, I felt stuck. I switched to training with my left hand. Within days my right hand jumped forward. The pattern was clear. Training the weaker side was lifting the strong side too.
When I began playing billiards I used both hands from day one, since table positions often demand it. The game pulled me into deep focus, and in that focus I visualized the Ghost Diamond Method, a way to train yourself to recognize rail angles visually. Similarly, I have now had a much deeper realization that ties into training yourself to aim multi rail kicks dynamically, which I will be sharing soon.
The Training Method
Here is how I train
- I begin with ten to twenty shots on my weak side.
- When it feels smooth, I take a single shot on my strong side, then I go straight back to weak.
- I repeat that loop. Long runs on the weak side, quick check ins on the strong side.
At some point something unusual happens. The strong side begins to feel awkward. That is the sign. Think of tuning a guitar. You dip below the note, then tighten until it locks. The strong side softens, the weak side rises, and both move toward center.
When that happens I switch. I take a short streak on the strong side, then I move into rhythm. Three on the left and three on the right, over and over, with steady breathing and focused attention. This is where the whole brain lights up. Perception settles in the space between the eyes. Creativity and accuracy both rise.
Ratios. The goal is to reach a solid three and three with no effort. After that you should also be able to go to one and one and feel no difference or bias at all. If one and one shows a tilt to a favorite side, return to three and three until neutrality holds.
The Signal Moment
The awkward shot on the strong side is not failure. It is the signal. It tells you the mirror network is coming online. Notice it and do not fight it. Make a brief streak on the strong side, then move into three and three. Keep attention quiet and breath steady. Let the center emerge.
Why Billiards Works
- The forward lean settles attention and strengthens the visual line.
- The single point gaze down the cue gives you a clean channel.
- The stance uses both sides of the body and exposes any bias instantly.
- The table gives instant feedback, so progress is visible and honest.
Billiards is meditation in motion. Geometry, balance, rhythm, and feel. It magnifies this training and makes the centered state easy to practice every day.
The Shift into Center
Most people stop at better performance. But the deeper effect is not just neurological, it is vibrational. When both hemispheres are fully synchronized, your perception is not just balanced, it becomes a node in the universal background field.
Call it OM. Call it the akashic record. Call it the field. This is the moment where learning becomes effortless, creativity pours through you, and you feel plugged into something infinitely larger than yourself.
It is not a gimmick. It is not a trance. It is a trainable state of coherence between your brain in two halves, achieved by disciplined cross dominant practice, meditation, and focus.
And billiards, with its geometry, its forward leaning posture, its single point gaze, and its bilateral movement, is a surprisingly effective gateway.
No tapes no gimmicks
People sell audio tricks and branded programs that promise synchronization. I am telling you the opposite. No tapes, no fees, no gimmicks. This practice is free, physical, repeatable, and lasting. You will know it is working when attention moves to center and your actions smooth out like a tuned instrument.
A Pattern Across Great Makers
Across history many of the most inventive minds practiced deliberate ambidexterity. They wrote, sketched, played, and built with both hands on purpose so the brain would map skills across both sides.
- Leonardo da Vinci. He trained both hands. He sketched with one, wrote mirror text with the other, and built balance into every study.
- Michelangelo. He shifted lead while he sculpted and painted, moving tools from hand to hand for stamina and precision.
- Albert Einstein. He played violin and sketched equations across the page with either hand, letting music and math feed each other.
- Nikola Tesla. He trained his weaker hand until tools and drawings flowed the same on both sides.
- Thomas Edison. He lived in rapid prototyping. When his right hand was worn out he switched and wrote left handed. His notes show fast sketching, quick task switching, and constant use of both hands at the bench.
- Jimi Hendrix. He played guitar left handed on a flipped right handed instrument, rewiring sound and feel in a way no one else had.
How to Begin Today
- Choose a simple drill you can repeat many times.
- Run ten to twenty on your weak side.
- Take one on the strong side, then go right back to weak.
- When the strong side feels awkward, smile, you are close.
- Make a short streak on the strong side, then move into three and three.
- When three and three is solid, test one and one. If bias returns, go back to three and three.
- Keep attention quiet and breathing steady. Treat the table like a meditation cushion.

Can Billiards Change the World?
Yes. One centered mind is strong. Millions would change the world. No gimmicks, no tapes, no fees. Only the discipline of mirrored practice. Billiards. Writing. Any act with both hands. With center locked you will see more, imagine more, and act with clarity. Keep the center. Carry it forward. Change the world.
Invite your family and friends to play pool. Teach both hands from day one. Rack up together and let the center spread one table at a time.
