I think it's chi, Wise. If you want to do some reading on it, do a search using gallen's name or just the word chi.
The info in this df is terrific. When i started up after quitting for some months, i went back & read everything he has written.
I also had goosebumps when i first started. I don't any more but they say that's because the energy gets balanced or assimilated. Something like that. When you don't feel them, just know that everything is just fine.
For me, the way to really know if anything is working is in my daily life situations. Am i dealing w/ the people who may challenge me better? Am i handling stress better? Am i extending my comfort zone a little here & there? This is the only way i truly judge my progress. I could have VISIONS
but if my dealings w/ the one person who challenges me the most stays the same, then, for me, i see no progress. I am rambling a little, but w/ SFQ, there is a tendency to judge it by the stuff one feels and then by the stuff one does not feel.
