Faith

The thing about hammer is it requires faith.

And not just any faith, *active* faith.

You must leap.

Step over the edge. Not knowing what you might discover.

That feeling of free fall where you’re not certain if you’re about to die, or successfully accomplish a daring feat—this is what it feels like to throw hammer.

Hammer can be challenging because some of the strategies that you developed to protect yourself in youth and adolescence, manifests in hammer.

Such as:

-tensing up rather than relaxing *into* it

-Fearing the unknown

-Impatience

In hammer, you must allow the event to happen *to* you when all you’ve ever done is adapt ways to protect yourself from things happening to you. Frustratingly comical.

However

Everywhere you see and feel resistance, is also a door.

A door to where you want, and/or need to go.

Active Faith illuminates your path to the door you—and only you—must open.
