knock on the sky and listen to the sound

I have been back to regular training in the park for a few weeks now, and again I am feeling more "In Touch" with myself.

It's a like if you are keeping to regular training, you hit this critical mass or peace that comes over you, beginning to feel "sung" or relaxed.

But I have noticed that if I have time off, weather due to injury or illness, this time it was for surgery... that it seems to take three times the amount of time off, to regain the feeling. ie. one day off, takes me three days to get it back.

I have also noticed something returning that I thought I had lost, using the same yi technique for lifting or raising up and down in Taiji, that while walking to moving about in a croud or pushing Ben's stroller, that if I imagine being pulled from the waist by an imaginary rope, you actually get a sensation of effortless pull, especially good for closing distance or changing directions rapidly... I asked Mrs Yek last night and she confirmed that this is yi, and to cultivate the skill.
