ゴルフなど心理的な要素の強いスポーツではよく「ゾーンに入る」という言語が使われる。英語の「イン・ザ・ゾーン」の訳だ。この「ゾーン」とは精神が集中するあまり幸福感や自信が心にあふれ、自然に体が働いて最高の実力を発揮できる状態である。 当人にすれば時間の流れが遅く感じられ、すべてがうまくいく方向に背を押される感覚という。無我や忘我、自在といった武道の境地にも通じよう。ただこればかりは意識してそうなれるのではない。「 やってくる」のを待つしかないそうだ。
Reference translation
English
In sports with a strong psychological component, such as golf, the phrase "entering the zone" is often used. It is a translation of the English expression "in the zone." This "zone" refers to a state in which one is so deeply focused that feelings of happiness and confidence overflow in the heart, allowing the body to function naturally and perform at its absolute best. For the person experiencing it, time seems to slow down, and they feel as though everything is being pushed in a direction where it will succeed. This also connects to states of mind in martial arts, such as selflessness, self-forgetfulness, and complete freedom. However, this is not something one can achieve consciously. It is said that one can only wait for it to "come."
