Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong Low blood sugar

I have been practicing SFQ off and on for about six weeks. I suspect that I am one of those people who have serious blockages and need to practice two or three hours for several months (right now I am on disability). I'm having a hard time with the no eating or drinking for 30 minutes guideline because sometimes I'll just have time to do a few exercises and then I have to eat something before I have to go out or I get weak, shaky, irritable. Should I just ignore that guideline and do the exercise? Is it okay to have something light like a piece of fruit or cup of soup? Also, in the level one course he talks about massaging the index and ring fingers to bring blood sugar down, but he doesn't say anything about bringing it up or if you should massage from top to bottom or vice versa. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Aloha KimQI,

Yes, massage the index and ring fingers upward (from base to tips), several times a day for three to five minutes each. Repeat in your mind "the blood sugar is up to normal", while doing this.

As for eating something before the energy gets a chance to settle in the body -follow the 30 minute rule, AND if you have to eat, you have to eat. The food will however, absorb some of the energy you were harvesting for healing.

Thanks Shawn for your quick reply. I'm going to try again.
