Hi,
I am glad your dad is getting better.
I would suggest you spend some time meditating, in conjunction with your experiences. You were there, you had the sensations, you know what you were doing at the time you experienced them. Although it may seem difficult at first to approach, you know the answer to your question. It was 'your' experience. Reflect on the dynamics of the moment, focus on the question, then meditate. You can do any meditation with a singular focus. Go in with the question, put out to your master, then, just do the meditation. Focus on whatever the meditation is. Don't think. If you drift in thought that is ok, just keep coming back to the meditation's focus. You may drift through the answer.. It is a good practice to look inward for answers. Although someone could specifically give you an answer, your growth and self empowerment will come from going within. Using meditation as a place to regenerate, experience, learn, reflect, etc... You will, get a sense of something by doing this. As your father is progressing, the information from your experience can be processed by you, as you continue to bring your father the help you are giving him, that has certainly helped him thus far.
Strokes are something dealt with in level 4. There is alot to assimulate between level I and level II, let alone level 4. The reason , I think, it shows up in level 4, is because the blockage deals with someones state of spiritual health. I am not talking soul here, but rather spirit. The spirit in qigong perspective is a multiple faceted concept/truth. As a healer, I think the increased meditation times a person at level 4 has put in, and their focus being more on meditation, coincides well with doing that kind of healing work. The love that you feel for your father is at the core of your success, and that is what it is, regardless of how much qigong you learn. Giving your love, wanting to learn, trying to help your father....the master's energy will lead you. You are not alone. Just keep feeling, looking in, regrouping after sessions, reflecting, interacting with your master's energy. You don't have to only connect with your master's energy while exercising. You can draw on that source to answer your questions. The sooner you go there, the more you self empower yourself. I see Master Lin maybe once, or twice a year. I always have one question, or two. They are not new questions, and sometimes, more of looking for affirmation to something I am finding true for myself. They are things that seem to stay, as questions, or important things to focus on for the time. By the time I ask the question, I have sat with it for some time, and sort of know the answer, but want to hear the affirmation. Anyway....revisit your experience, and start building on simple realizations. ask yourself what you were feeling at the time, what were you doing when it happened,,,,were you sending out energy to your father, or receiving information. How were you connected,,,was it like scanning and receiving,,,,were you merged in any way with your father,,,etc., etc,.
In strokes, the blockage relates to ones spiritual balance. It starts in the liver, moves to the heart and then the head. Aspects of spirit dwell in the liver and the heart. Working on the physical manifestations of stroke is fine. You are accessing your father through that, and it connects to everything. Things are set in motion, you can learn, practice , and continue helping. It is moving in a good direction. In matters of spirit, love is very powerful. Do some visualization to help your father this way, thinking in terms of his spiritual health and balance, and let it appear how ever it does, and trust your helping him. Love him and calm him on that level. On the physical, support his 'waking up' again. Physical therapy, massage, stimulating the physical body, perhaps cupping the body like in harvesting qi??? arms torso, legs...rubbing the bottom of the feet, massaging hands, etc, physical/energetic stimulation to wake up the body...
love,
gallen
