Mayflower's last post prompted some questions I have myself.
1) Is the one hour small universe CD available to people through LS?
2)I think that CD does 21 revolutions? Is that the optimum goal in one's long term practice, or does one keep increasing the revolutions past this?
3) In considering longer meditations, over 60 minutes , is a free form of meditation more appropriate, focusing more on just breathing and stillness?(reverse breathing, perhaps moving one's inner reference to an upper dan tien relative to one's inner tuition?) I realize the importance of the small universe as a constant practice regardless of doing other, or longer meditations, and also, always finishing in the lower dan tien, and harvesting qi...
4) Is it better to advance the meditative position(half lotus, full lotus), before extending the length of the meditation past, say, an hour?
Thank you. I understand that some of this may fall into the "wait until you get there" category , or involve a more personal communication between an individual and Master Lin at some point in one's practice, as opposed to an open forum.
Respectfully,
gallen
