I am still quite new to SPQ, but have been practicing religiously for the six weeks since I began. Unfortunately, I have been unable to feel the energy, that is...until today. I was at a Church service, and I decided to practice "Small Universe" meditation as I was standing during the service. When I was finished, I realized that I could not do the ending exercises properly without someone thinking I was crazy. And yet, I knew that these are very important to close the channels.I became a little anxious and did not know what to do. When the service was over, I began to walk to my car, and felt a very real tingling in my right foot. I took this as a reminder to do the closing exercises when I got to my car. I responded. When I was finished with the closing exercises in the privacy of my car (i.e. massaging face, combing hair, cupping head, etc.) my foot then stopped tingling. Just the day before, I was feeling doubtful of my ability to feel the energy. My conclusion today is that the energy is surely there and wanted to protect me from harm. I am very thankful.
