awareness and complete being in the moment are often obscured as a 6th sense simply because the greater majority of us have the million noises in our heads all the time and multiple external distraction.
By shutting these down, we become hyper aware and our 5 actual senses become sharper.
example, a blind person hears better generally.
only one example, but you get the idea. If you lose your right arm, then your left arm will be better than either were before you lost the right arm.
This is how I understood this training to work, and the name is a bit of a misnomer. Then again I've heard postures in our form translated to "duck flies out of heard" instead of flock, so much gets lost in the translation from time to time.
