Movement is fluid. I can almost drop in at any time and just begin following slow movement. (I just did a little test here at the computer and I was able to drop in). Mind-talk and worries come some but they don't stay as long and don't necessarily interfere even if they are there. Slow Movement is what I have been consistently working on. Some stretching but slow is the name of the game. A lot of times I can get at least to the edge of the place where the energy is moving me. Often I feel like I am playing in "thick air" or "velvety air." My practice place is a place of comfort now and not just duty. For example, I had already done some practice for the day yesterday but last night I could not sleep. So, I turned on the music and took my pillow and blanket to my spot. I began to slowly, slowly move ... then I relaxed and drifted in and out of consciousness. When I came back around, each time I would begin moving -- just like if I was in a retreat setting and the same thing happened. The focus remained. Thus, it was different than like lying in bed with music on and thinking and moving --- trying to relax. This was personal practice. I felt safe and comforted somehow by the process. WoW !! Talk about changes .... I no longer worry with how I might look or what I am or am not doing. I just try to follow the flow.
