I started doing this years ago when you first brought it up. It was way harder than I expected. I also have vertigo mixed with a fear of heights. I started on my sawhorse but it was hard for me to not be surrounded by reference points. So, I just went with closed eyes. Took a week of practice after work to be able to do it both ways (left vs right foot forward). I then started doing it in higher places at work and challenging my coworkers to do the same. Nothing deadly, but fairly high beams on playgrounds and industrial structures. I'm not sure what good it did or how much it transferred over to my practice, but it did help me hate climbing around tall things on the job. And, I'm sure it did help my balance--especially using my dantien to maintain it.
I am still grateful to Bruce for sharing this and other training methods (like skipping).
