Understanding Repetitive Action

Repetitive Action is both a mental and physical technique.

This technique is used by performing or thinking a repetition of actions or thoughts close to the heart, mind, and soul of the user.

This, in turn, stirs up the emotions and feelings of the user which allows them to exert their fullest strength, and even possibly pass one's own current limits.

Repetitive Action VS. Total Concentration Breathing

How does Repetitive Action differ from Total Concentration Breathing?

Total Concentration Breathing focuses more on the enhancing of physical abilities of the user, and it's concentrated more on the physical technique which is done through controlled breathing.

Repetitive Action, on the other hand, is a mixture of a mental and physical technique where one uses thoughts or mental images (mental aspect), and possibly the chanting of certain words or doing a set of actions (physical aspect).

This will result in the enhancing of physical abilities and mental fortitude of a person.

Psychological and Emotional Impact

As mentioned above, Repetitive Action stirs up the emotions of the user.

This is because when one focuses on a repeated action or thought, it can induce a variety of emotions. Most noted emotions are anger, determination, and desperation.

Based on the book "Laws of Human Nature", anger is the easiest emotion a human can "process". What I mean by that is, in most cases when you are feeling something negative, it is easily labeled as "Anger."

But deep down, this anger is not JUST anger. It can have more emotions rooted to it like sadness, jealousy, hurt, and more.

This means that anger, depending on the deeper roots of emotions, can be used as a propelling force to exert strength.

How Can You Use Repetitive Action?

Now that you know what Repetitive Action is and what it does, you can actually use it too! I, myself, have done it a couple of times.

Routine: Definition

First off, you need to create your own routine. This is going to be a routine you'll do to stir up your emotions.

For Tanjiro, he first remembers the face of his dead family members. He then remembers Rengoku’s words “Set your heart ablaze”.

For Himejima, he chants “Namu Amida Butsu: I take refuge in Buddha” before performing the action that needs his strength

Routine Steps

First, you have to think really hard. What gets you angry? An anger that can boost your strength? You have to be careful though. This anger can give you different reactions from yourself.

Second, create a mental image of what gets you angry. Imagine every little detail of it.

Third, set up a word or a phrase that can get you to induce the mental image.

Fourth, this is when you can chant that phrase to manifest that mental image to stir up your emotions to give you strength

Fifth, do the action that needs your strength! (for me, I did this routine for working out/exercising)

Conclusion

In conclusion, Repetitive Action is a powerful mental and physical technique a demon slayer can use to exert strength. Not only can this technique be used in anime, but it can be used in real life as well.
