Aedh’s been telling me for years  to bend at the hips, that’s one reason I do the wall squat–it requires this to be successful. For the past year or so he has been talking about as the hips go back that you get a rounded space.

I think I’ve got it figured out what he is talking about, and I don’t see it as a round space.  I see it as a sphere, round in all directions.  And the point of achieving that sphere is that when one pushes on a sphere it just moves.  If you get on top of it, or it somehow ends up under you, it is a particularly unstable situation and you are liable to end up sailing onto the ground or against whatever fixed object is in the way.

There is  a chance I can practice this in my standing posture (tree) and wall squat.  Been looking for a meaningful push hands exercise I can do by myself for 38 years!  I think/hope I’ve got it!
