Thanks for your reply, gallen. I talked to a Spring Forest coach today, and she said that breathing is not that important in level 1. The most important thing is the visualization. This is what allows you to heal yourself. If you go on to level 2 or higher, then breathing takes on greater importance.
I hope Pete comments on this as I was quite surprised by this answer. I would have thought that breathing was most important on any level. After all, it is qi (breath) gong (work)!
