Hello, I have been practicing SF level I for about two weeks. Very happy that I can start feeling the chi. I also felt pains in some areas got worsen before they got better. All along I have been happy about the improvement and I was glad that I can follow the full active exercise tape. Not at the breathing part, I think I can reach that someday.
However, I have developed pain around the spine section near the kidney area. At first I thought it was another healing process that I am feeling. Now, it has been long enough to bring me concern. For the last couple days, I started to do the exercise sitting down instead of standing up. I am not sure whether I had been standing incorrectly and caused the problem. Maybe I just tried too hard to stand up straight and did it incorrectly or there are energy stuck in that section of the spine. It hurts and I can not use the Sword Finger for my own back. I had also did the Small Universe Meditation in bed and later slept through it. Would that be a problem if I don't end the Meditation as Master Lin guided us? Thanks for your helps.
