Primary Ghenja is necessary for any of the Secondary Ghenja states to occur. Thus Primary Ghenja is the foundation of Ghenja.
Primary Ghenja is not a state in of itself, but a preparation to enter one of the Secondary Ghenja states.
Acquiring Primary Ghenja
Relax
If you're tense, you're screwed. Ghenja is a relaxed state of mind no matter how many explosions are bursting around you. Stay relaxed and you'll live. Get tense — you die.
- Take a deep breath before the start of whatever challenge you face.
- Relax your shoulders. If they actually moved, then you were tense.
Accept Failure / Death
If you are striving to succeed, you will not achieve sh*t. You will overlook the steps required to your goal. If you accept death / failure as granted, then you won't get frustrated.
In FPSes, you're going to die much. Especially in Deathmatch. I remember someone told me that he didn't like FPSes because he died alot. My response "No sh*t." The point is to fragl more times than you get fragged, or at the bare minimum, to frag more times than the 2nd place guy. If you get pissed everytime your head explodes, you've just lost primary ghenja and with it — the Secondary Ghenja.
In Skating games, most notably Tony Hawk's Skater games, you're going to bail (fall down) much. Expect it and accept it. The pavement is your greatest teacher and it really has nothing against you.
Clear Your Mind
As cliche as this is, it's important. If you think, you die. It's as simple as that. Don't let other thoughts interfere with the Ghenja.
If something bothers you enough that you can't concentrate, then you should be dealing with it instead of playing a video game. If there is no way to deal with it, fix it, etc, then you need to give up. See Accept Failure / Death above. There are better things to do than worry about things outside your power.
Giving up on something also changes your view. This allows you to see new solutions to the problem that you didn't see before.
Be Open
You have to be open and let the experience consume you completely. This should probably be filed under Relax.
