My 2 cents now. I agree with everything everyone has said so far. All good advice and comments. I would add that from my experience with mindfulness Zen meditation and insight meditation, also the Toltec tradition, it is good to remember that this is just your mind talking. There are so many voices in our head talking to us all the time. We've been listening to them all our lives, but we don't have to. Often they are not talking truth, they're just talking out of fear, out of past negative experiences. We don't have to believe them, just thank them for their opinion and go on.
Also I would add that if you are like many or most of us, you've often thought there was something wrong with you. That's what has led many of us to Qigong and the spiritual growth path, this 'what's wrong with me' question. Certainly it was so with me. So it is a good thing. Leading us questions, and to the answers. Meanwhile, the first answer, there is nothing wrong with you..
I understand where you are, I've been where you are. I have every faith you can 'break through' but it might take a great deal of consistency and contining to practice even when not sure why, for a time. You are not alone. This forum, the universal energy, Master Lin, all of us who send healing energy to each other. We're all here. There is nothing wrong with your question, and there is NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU.
Rest assured.
Also, read Master Lin's book. You will know this is a man who has nothing but love in his heart and this practice is nothing but love in action. No fear. The universe is a loving and supportive place. I don't know why, but I believe everything this man says. I totally trust him. And the universe.
I feel great empathy for you. I hope this speaks to your heart. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to respond. It has helped me think about my own feelings.
Life is short. Enjoy and celebrate. Spend time every day being grateful.
Gratefully,
Stephanie
