Is the Earth energy pushing you?

Just got done reading a great blog by the Yin style fellas, on sprinting, it made alot of sense and I might try it!  EASEing into it, of course.

At any rate, I have been going on a walk with Kim nearly every day.  It seems after the first walk it is just like warming up.  The second walk though, we discussed how we could feel the earth energy pushing us.

Same as in baguazhang.  I think it really just takes some warming up when walking the circle, to feel this energy.  Lao Xie says this energy is ALWAYS there for us, we only need to TAP it.   Seems to work for me!   After a good fifteen minute warm up of walking the circle, we can feel this earth energy start to push us forward, like I just mentioned if only just walking, one can feel it push the arch and heel up.  At least that is how I feel it.

I wanted to share something my teacher shared with me yesterday and he has told me this same thing before, but it really resonated yesterday.  "Speed comes from being smooth, not fast."   Does this make sense to you?

If not, TRAIN HARDER, LOL!
