My husband maintains that jing is only felt by the opponent. It is the outcome of your actions. Any sensation of power/strength in your own body indicates tension, not strength. Only the opponent should feel anything. Your own body is merely the conduit.
Sifu illustrated this easily in class, but somehow my brain lags. It is like a zen koan: an apparent contradiction/paradox. My husband pointed out that the paradox does not exist, and that the knot lies inside our own minds.
