Hello Monkey Mind, let's count breaths

After my talk with Sifu, I am dialing things back with my business and my practice and starting at week 1. I think things will go much smoother if I wait until I actually have closed down my studio, but I decided to go ahead and start now. I've been keeping a separate notebook from the one I normally use to scribble down notes--mainly the 13 points. I want to have them memorized, and the only way I know how is to do the same thing I did in bootcamp with the 11 general orders of a sentry-- I would copy them before bed until I reached the point when I could write them from memory. 

Real depth in this material. Wow!

As someone who has been on the fringes of internal martial arts for many years, mainly because I have had friends who were martial arts journalsists or high level internal martial artists themselves, I have had the good fortune to be around a number of so called masters of internal martial arts, and seen them teach and explain their material.

Articular Capsule and Joint Proprioception

Sifu, I've been doing some research into haptics lately and I'm beginning to appreciate more and more the role proprioception might play in "object shape perception" through the sense of touch.

I was wondering if you have any information on this subject, off the top of your head, that might be helpful in my investigations along these lines (please don't spend too much of your time on this - I will keep looking myself - at this point it is nothing more than a personal curiosity).
