I just wanted to add, that I have been through all four levels of SFQ, and I have had past, somewhat, extensive exposure to, and experience in qigong. Today, my qigong self practice will involve me in one, single active exercise, from Level II, for 30 -60 minutes, and a meditation session or two, that I don't know as yet, what it will be, but they probably will be small universe, as I have had a cold this week, and I know that meditation will help me physically, and, I can also pursue the emptiness, and my lotus sitting goals, through it. -g
