Centering and NLP

In the summer I travelled to london for Eric Robbie's course about sensory acuity (see - Advanced Sensory Acuity Weekend with Eric Robbie | Chris Morris Events). I learnt so much from the experience and in particular I gained a new insight into centering and how useful and important it is to be centered.

As we worked outside in the lovely sunny bright and scented flower gardens on the exercises that Eric set us it soon became crystal clear that being centering altered our sensory acuity. We experienced that we all became much more aware when we were centered and our ability to do certain things was markedly improved. We helped each other become centered which in itself I found really useful as each person required a slightly different adjustment to place them in a centered position (doing this has helped me notice with speed and accuracy when people are or are not centered). I noticed that at the beginning there were marked differences in how aware people were of being centered. Some of us were able to center ourselves pretty accurately and other people needed more assistance. I imagine this was because they had to acquire the information needed so that they could then us it to center themselves correctly. By the end of the session we were more similar in our ability to know when we centered and able to center ourselves with speed and accuracy. I had previously been taught about being centered by a Chinese artist who explained to me that one could not paint well unless one was centered, by a friend who was a black belt, from a healer friend, when I learned Sally Swift's centered riding system and through Paul McKenna's 'Holding one point' technique which has its roots in Aikido.

what is a good way to learn?
can you learn on your own?
can you be centered all the time?
can anyone describe how it feels when one is centered?
