To quote you...... "Definite slow irresistable sort of motion associated with it".

I may be misinterpreting what you were trying to say but if not, then i believe i feel the almost the same way after doing standing Qigong. Particularly "Holding the Ball" or "Grasping post"
(damn translations).

Once i finish the excersises i usually go for a brisk walk. When i step from the house its like i am made of liquid stone. Heavy but perfectly co-ordinated, able to surge "irresistably" forward like a landslide and rock the ground as i walk. Grounded yet agile. Powerful and tireless. Very mentally alert and calm but full of fire under the surface.

Legs like mobile mountains, arms like bee-filled clouds.

that would be about it. What can be interesting (if you have a suitable practice partner) is to push hands after you get this sort of feeling. You'll find (at least I do) that you "push" in a very different way to your normal - much slower, more irresistable, small, flowing yet weighty (I prefer "weighty" to "heavy" as I feel heavy has conortations of deadness, insensitivity etc)

Another thing that I was trying to draw out when I mentioned this sensation is a counter to what seems like the makority opinion on standing practise - it emphasies stillness, solidity etc. Yes - to a point. What it also gives is stillness in motion, and motion in stillness. Your experiences walking refer to the former of the two.
