Training and so on *edited for "succinctitude" ;-)

Very good point--people seem to really like Tai as a teacher; if Calgary were closer I might go there...In fact I may.  This is still the stage of gathering (data). Toronto as it happens though, is right here. :-) Wild, eh? And that’s in April.  Sounds like a great driving trip you had ! Fun to have that 'in the bank', isn't it?

I tend to be too ‘open’ in the solar plexus--or perhaps unskillful...I’m pretty sure this is how I commonly used to ‘listen’.
I’m quite sure there is probably something ‘off’ still, that would respond very well to the three wonderful words:

“let’s correct that!”

I like the fact that the Yuen Method looks to be very straight-forward. Watching the video and seeing a bit of the finger movements I get a strong sense of knowing what’s going on—and how much is being covered. Feels like it would all
fall into place. That's a kind of delicious feeling.

Anything more you can say about the SP listening? (in the service of one’s being conscious and skillful :-) )
