This is also what I mean by "magnetically oriented to the six directions."
Peter Ralston (of Cheng Hsin) talks about having awareness of the whole room at the same time (as well as being able to feel all of your body and all of your partners body). Challenging but in a good way

I hope to get a couple of video clips online this weekend, among all the other stuff going on...
Look forward to that
