That would imply that I think of training and communication as two separate things. I don't.

IMHO, we must connect and communicate in all we do.

I often ask people what do they want my body to do or where do they want it to go and then remind them that they have to communicate that to me.

Thoughts?

Thanks for reading and responding.
Hi Lynn.
I didn't mean you personally thought of them as two separate things I was referring to others comments.(unless I've taken them too literally)

I too get people to feel where the body wants to go or I want to go and thus find the path of non-resistance. Feeling is also communication wouldn't you say?

Knowing there is a truth I'm not getting pisses me off yes but once found and accepted.....ahhh, bliss.
