What they are telling you falls on deaf ears.

You are Over-loading (we'll save this one for another time), Round-housing, off Plane...The hands will communicate all of this if you will only pay attention. They, pressure points 1,2,3 located in the hands, are always trying to communicate, along with their distant cousin, the #4 Pressure Point. That is where your precision is if you use them; recognizing and reconcilling minor differences. The first step is to listen even if you don't speak the language yet. [Bold by Yoda.]
What a wonderful post, Drew. I especially like the last sentence:

"The first step is to listen even if you don't speak the language yet."

It took me a long time to finally "hear" the #3 Pressure Point and what it was telling me. But, thanks to Homer Kelley, I knew it was there, and I finally made contact. Not long after, I also learned to send messages through #3 as well as receive them.

I am pleased to report that we have been "chatting away" merrily ever since!
