Why learn to juggle? What are the benefits?
Almost every person finds it fascinating to watch a juggler at work: the dexterity, the easiness, the masterful handling of juggling balls or other objects. Try to ask adults or older people “Would you like to learn to juggle?” They are normally evasive in their answers. “No, I cannot do it!” or “I have been always so clumsy with balls.” or “I have poor coordination skills.” After the question they immediately start looking for an excuse or a „reason”, in order not to be obliged to try it out. Interesting! The particularly interesting thing is that few have actually tried it, so the most cannot really know whether they would be able to learn it or not. It is like learning to ride a bike. If nobody shows to you, how to do it, you cannot ride a bike. It is so simple! If you ask the same question to children, evasive answer will be an exception rather. Why is that? Over the course of many years, even decades (school, education, job) adults had been programmed so intensively for the ”fear of failure”, that it is not enough to them just to say “No”. In fractions of a second, the thought of trying out something, that possibly does not work at the first go, makes the feeling of lack of self-confidence grow that big, that the brain switches imme-diately over to evasive maneuvers. In children, the curiosity is usually stronger than the “fear of failure”, this is why the spontaneous readiness to do something “new” is far greater here.
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult. Marcus Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Through its repetitive movement, juggling counteracts stress and it sets new, natural ener-gies free. In a playful way but still effectively, it teaches you to involve in something you and to meet unusual challenges with confidence. It is a great feeling!
When learning to juggle you can find out, step by step, how to transform insecurity into security. Your self-confidence grows.
What does juggling mean?
The concept of “juggling“ is used in diverse variations. The meaning of the word “juggling“ (germ. juggling) is made up of the French word “jongler“ and the Germanic “jangler“. “Jongler“, of the Old-French origin ”jogler“ means “to make fun, to joke“. This can be traced back to the medieval ioculari “to make fun of sb., to pull sb.’s leg“, which, in turn, has its root in the Latin word ioculare “to joke“. The germanic “jangler“ means “to gossip, to slander“, according to the German Duden-dictionary.
The actual aim of throwing and catching the balls or other object is to take a distance from the real, day-to-day liveworld. It leads out of one´s own construction of thoughts and experiences so one is confronted with new tasks and, as a result of it, with new experiences.
Everything has a strong (positive) effect for the brain and, consequently, for the body.
Juggling is music for the eyes
