• Use the Reverse Breathing technique for all exercises of Spring Forest Qigong. Chunyi recommends that you breath like that all of the time.
• It is best to have your breathing match the movements. Try slowing your breathing and/or speed your movements. Once you have memorized the movements from the video, then use the audio tapes. This will allow you to practice at a rate that is best for you. The ultimate goal is to slow your breathing, which will come as you practice.
• The best way to practice is by following Chunyi Lin's suggestions. That said, do the best you can. Any practice is better than no practice.
• I've heard from several people who have seen improvements with carpal tunnel. Chunyi says Qigong is good for all problems of the body.
• After an interuption, feel free to resume your practice. If you cannot focus or calm your mind, however, go on with your day.
• Use the ohmmmmms and mooooos of the Small Universe as a guide. I have never been able to follow it exactly, and I have received tremendous benefit from the meditation.
If I've missed anything, please let me know.

I'm traveling until May 9, so I probably will not be able to respond again until I return.
