Wow Kate, I thought I was up early or perhaps you are hitting the hay late.

This is great information\question it is wonderful how this site keeps providing so much valuable information.
I had assumed it was Master Lin’s simplified method of directing the layman to the appropriate area with out getting too complicated with it. I too have always heard the two inch below the navel and would gravitate there in my mind. I found that because he mentioned the naval it was better, easier or a more tangible of a spot to focus on. This made me wonder if he was not guided to mention this because it is much easier for beginners to grasp, in any case the concept of finding your own dantien makes a lot of sense. All our bodies come in different shapes and sizes so why not have varying energy centers. Thank you for your insights.
