I've been working on extension and connection recently (but I guess who isn't?), and it really hit me that they appear, for me, to be inversely proportional. In other words, the more I try to extend, the worse I am at connecting, and the more I try to feel a connection, the more I collapse on myself.

Has anyone else experienced this bind?
How do you get out of it? I realize the answer is 'more practice', and probably 'more slow practice,' but does anyone have any more specific suggestions on how to work on it?
