Looks like there's even a neurological basis, came across this author today and I've decided to make Mind in Motion my next read in the reading challenge. (newly ordered at the library and no hold yet!) It was mentioned the 2014 Nobel in medicine and physiology was awarded for discovery of ... well I'll let you check out the links:

In 1971, John O’Keefe discovered the first component of this positioning system. He found that a type of nerve cell in an area of the brain called the hippocampus that was always activated when a rat was at a certain place in a room. Other nerve cells were activated when the rat was at other places. O’Keefe concluded that these “place cells” formed a map of the room.

More than three decades later, in 2005, May-Britt and Edvard Moser discovered another key component of the brain’s positioning system. They identified another type of nerve cell, which they called “grid cells”, that generate a coordinate system and allow for precise positioning and pathfinding. Their subsequent research showed how place and grid cells make it possible to determine position and to navigate.

And as far as how this relates to PMO addiction: The general basic view of recovery seems to be the "let the conditioning fade over time" approach of abstinence. Lots of people like physical fitness as a part of their regimen, but I am curious about making a (what I think is very significant) distinction between physical conditioning and training for kinesthetic intelligence for better agility with both the body and the mind. This book should provide some interesting insights.
