Feeling my forms

I'm really starting to feel my forms.  There were parts of yesterday's class that really clicked for me.  Loa Gar and 18 Temple motions are my two favorite forms and each part is fairly effortless. 

What I felt yesterday was "next level" stuff and it was pretty exciting. While performing my forms I started to feel that things weren't quite aligned.  Things didn't quite feel right.  When this happens I stop and reflect back on the "why?".  Is it my hips?  Are the six harmonies really harmonious in this part of the form?  I also am finding that the timing of the harmonies are becoming more noticable.  This was especially apparent with 18 Temple motions.  I could tell when my hands finished before my feet and vise versa. I'm really bringing to feel the form and when the six harmonies are harmonious the form feels incredible, kind of like silk.  

More repition is needed on the forms I don't like as much especially during the transitions in certain parts of Da Mu Sing.

Overall I personally like our forms. All of the "good stuff" is packed into them.
