congrats to that. this is a major stage accombilshment which changes many things in movement and energy work.
was it a streamlined training routine all this time. or did you change something in the past or added some stuff which help you accomblish this (so basically a routine where you can say "this helped me to focus on theses parts and let me get to the point of soften the inner tissues and accomblish a elstatic stretchy song in this area")?
for example we focus on this area to open it up with a movement feature where you double weight the hip area while moving (one feet is rooted with song state while other in air but you activly pull the airfoot-hip down while moving)
like this the (right foot with green line is the standing foot):
sorry my english is for runaways. hope its understandable

I think it's less important for a practitioner to feel like a tree trunk than it is for one's opponent to feel like you're a tree trunk. What kind of feedback do you get from others?
I feel like I'm sitting on the barstool and my head is suspended and my arms are propped up and I'm just enjoying the seat like one of those faker fakirs in the metal seats pretending they're holding themselves up with one hand on a staff

Do you feel your body is heavier than before or lighter?
just a little bit more to get weightless

Usually "needs work" or "how did you do that"

With regard to heavy or light, to the question of either/or:
The way I'm developing is that I increasingly feel a heaviness inside me and also a lightness. In principle simultaneously, synergetically. The result is a kind of subjective ease of movement and, I think, increasingly less inner friction in joints and tissues.
When in physical contact with others, I can let them feel the heaviness, making me very hard to move and also putting a lot of felt mass and impetus behind issued force, or I can let them feel the lightness so that they can touch me but feel very little substance.

Press the backs of your hands against the inside of a door frame for 30 seconds—as if you're trying to widen the frame—and then let your arms down; you'll feel something odd. Your arms will float up from your sides, as if lifted by an external force. Scientists call this Kohnstamm phenomenon, but you may know it as the floating arm trick. Now, researchers have studied what happens in a person's brain and nerve cells when they repress this involuntary movement, holding their arms tightly by their sides instead of letting them float up. Two theories existed as to how this repression worked: The brain could send a positive "push down" signal to the arm muscles at the same time as the involuntary "lift up" signal was being transmitted to cancel it out; or the brain could entirely block the involuntary signal at the root of the nerves. The new study, which analyzed brain scans and muscle activity recordings from 39 volunteers, found that the latter was true—when a person stifles Kohnstamm phenomenon, the involuntary "lift" signal is blocked before it reaches the muscle. The difference between the repression mechanisms may seem subtle, but understanding it could help people repress other involuntary movements—including the tremors associated with Parkinson's disease and the tics associated with Tourette syndrome, the team reports online today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
