Hi Eagle1:
Sometimes when starting out with SFQ we are so wanting to be healthy and focused on our own healing we don't really relax and get out of the way to let god or the universe help us to heal ourselves. Many people have great success with healing themselves by looking in the mirror and treating the person in the mirror as the one who needs healing rather than worrying about how they need to heal themselves. So just find a nice tall mirror and treat that nice looking person across from you as you would someone else. Don't even think about it being you over there in the mirror. Give that person all the love you can and the healing can happen much faster.
Also do the level 1 exercises from start to end. Any individual exercises that don't seem to agree with you are probably the very ones that you really need to do the most.
Finally by helping to heal others you will bring the benefits back to yourself 10-fold so don't be afraid to practice on others... even your cat or dog,
Have a swordfingers day,
