The expression ‘don’t worry about where your feet are to start’ has been floating around looking for a home in my posts (I’m not sure where it ended up!) and “stand with your feet hip-width apart” was a common instruction that I never understood/felt I was doing it right (shuffling around, trying to judge in a mirror … I lacked a Base-Line reference to feel from.)
When you say lack of feeling—lack of awareness? or lack of sensation/numbness? The latter can be associated with various medical conditions so it’s important to differentiate between the two experiences (duration is relevant).
I’ve tried to make the anatomy easy to understand (pictures are better than words!) here.
I get all the normal pain/temperature/pressure/friction feedback just fine. It is only the problem of knowing where they are in space without looking at them.
