Hi Kev5,
It is hard to get too specific, as it would get into trying to pass on level II through the forum, which wouldn't work..
The time you do your sword fingers and grabbing is not a critical factor. It relates more to your sense of being finished. When your visualized image/intention is finished, the work is done.
As you clear, you will do sword fingers, followed by your hand grabbing out energy(cloud hands), followed by putting energy in with your palm/palms, nine times) Keep your hands soft and open, wrists soft...Visualize as you work.
Try this:
-Connect to your master, ask them for help with this healing work
-Have your daughter relax. Sit to her left side. As part of this relaxation, talk her through three small universe rotations, mentioning each area to breath energy into and also relax those areas. See the energy going into those points/areas. Bring her to focusing on her lower dan tien, pat some energy into her lower dan tien, nine times with your left hand.
- Have her go to her happy place
- Use your sword fingers to clear her C7 vertebra
- under her collarbones, there are two areas called the 'windows to the lungs'. Use your sword fingers there to break up the blockages. When you grab out blockages, move your hands down from the shoulders, through the lungs, turning towards the outside edges of the body at the bottom of the lungs. Think of clearing the outer and inner layers. Put energy through the palms into the windows, nine times, You can see it as white energy, and see her lungs as bright white. She can also envision her lungs as bright white. It is not mentioned in SFQ, but you could have her put a white tiger in her lungs to protect them. This is just a Taoist visualization using a spirit animal. Like something that is in there protecting them 24/7. Sometimes an image like that helps you focus, inbetween sessions, or reconnect quickly to regenerating the image. Work through your master's energy, and treat the spirit animal respectfully. Again, this is just some other information that may appeal to your creativity , or lack of creativity! whatever..
Also, before you work on the lungs themselves, after the C7, also clear the rest of the spine. Just sword fingers and just long grabs downward, clearing it out. Put in healing energy with your palms afterwards. So, you are clearing the spine first. Upper and mid spine is most relevant to lungs, but the whole spine is good to do, as long as you are there.
-at the end, talk her through three revolutions of sm universe again, ending in the lower dan tien. Pat her lower dan tien nine times again.. Have her harvest qi.
As you do this work, try breathing into your heart center. Along with universal energy, think of spiritual energy, light, coming in from all directions, via the universe, God, or your master's energy. Channel that light throught your hands as you work. Let it become a laser for your sword fingers, cloud hands are soft, feeling, and penetrating, palms are very loving, putting in good energy, balanced energy, healing energy, light...
From level I, having her do breathing of the universe is suggested. Also, massaging the thumbs(lung meridian). You could try the healing 'sound' for the lungs. It is "ssssssssssssss". Just making that 's' sound( no short 'e' sound like 'es', just sssss) , like a teapot's steam sound. It can be done very softly, bearly audible, directing the sound in. This isn't used in SFQ, but it is part of Five Element Theorey. Don't mix it into your SFQ healing session. Perhaps as a small excursion at another sitting, a small game or something. You could maybe have her inhale into her lungs, and exhale down her arms(top inside line to the thumbs) making the ssssss sound and releasing blockages out her thumbs... The lung meridians top section, sort of locates in that window area, and moves down the arms on the thumb side. I hope some of this helps you be more effective.
love,
gallen
