I think you should take level III. I feel strongly about this. I think you would benefit most from this given the information I have seen regarding your posts.
Yes, there is a ton of information in level two, but, it is written down. You have it in hand. The LS version is very complete. You have it on paper, if not in your head yet. Going to a level II clinic would just duplicate that. The level II clinic is more information gathering and overload, and technique...Level I was more meditative, do to the two meditations, and the long active exercise. Level II is mostly information, with some exercise, no meditation time at the clinic. It is nice to spend that meditation time with Master Lin, and feel that group energy, his energy, in a meditation.
Spending the meditation time with Master Lin is nice. Level III involves some longer meditation, and some added information continuing on from level II , regarding healing others. Given your background in meditation , your should do Level III, if you travel here. Most people I saw at the level III clinic I did were not what I would call advanced, in any way. Some had taken level II a week before! The class consists alot of people seeking help for health issues that weren't or aren't being addressed by western medicine. Another aspect of the group is composed of health care providers, like nurses and therapists, checking it out, incorporating the information relative to their careers. A third element, the smallest from my observation, were qigong practioners. Essentially healthy people, maybe younger than the health issues people group, pursuing qigong as "students" of qigong. Again, there were plenty of people there that I know, weren't involved in a daily practice of qigong. You aren't tested in any way. I would schedule for either a weekend or a retreat. I haven't done a retreat, but I would bet they are exceptional. I say level III, expecially if this is going into next year. Please email me if you want help coordinating this. Let me know what you are thinking, and I can help you with the logistics. The locations are diverse, some much less convenient than others in terms of flying into Mpls. I would be happy to help you make this connection. They do coordinate some of the levels for out of towners, where you can take two levels in back to back time periods. This is why I think I saw some inexperience at the clinics. It is possible to catch up, repeat, whatever... If you pick one, take level III. Otherwise a II and III back to back. They are different in content.
