I request seniors to kindly guide me on the following matters:-1. I am unable to keep my eyes closed all the time during my active exercise.
I am 71 and I can't either; especially during the Harmony of the Universe and Seven Steps.
It doesn't matter. Master Lin mentions that not everyone will be able to close their eyes.

2. I am unable to syncronise the breathing with hands movement particularly while doing Breathing of universe and harmony of universal energy. This is mainly due to the fact while I am able to control the movement as slowly as possible but breathing (inhale and exhale) is very shorter because of my health condition.
I am not sure everyone can match Master Lin's rhythm of breathing in the beginning; I still can't. I sometimes take short breaths in between Master Lin's breaths to let my rhythm match Master Lin's. I am talking about both the active exercise and Small Universe. I still get the feeling of energy in my hands and sometimes in other parts of my body. It's all about good-better-best. What is best for you may not be the same for someone else. The important thing is to do the exercise the best you can do them. From what I understand, Master Lin is not rigid and modifies some ot the exercises depending on conditions.

3. Suppose if I have 10 minutes time only can I just do any one of the active exercise and conclude.
I have a hip and knee that gives me pain. It has lessened slightly through SFQigong. Sometimes when I get a flareup during the day, I do the Seven Steps or better Harmony of Universe also and the pain is reduced or goes. And, of course, being sometimes lazy, I sometimes skip the exercise in the morning and I am forced to take the time to just do Seven Steps and Harmony of the Universe later in the day. Master Lin talks about doing just five minutes of something throughout the day.

4. I am able to do only by evening 7.30 PM my active execise is that OK
My experience is, it doesn't matter what I do so long as I do something every day. When I don't do something, I notice the difference.

Meditation:-
Small Universe:-
1. I am Unanble to keep the time of inhalation for the same duration as per the master's voice. Is that OK.
2. Can I also practise small universe for lesser time say for 15 minutes.
Again, my inhalation is never quite the same as the master's. I find that no matter how short the time I practise it is always beneficial.
quote:
Self Concentration:-
1. While doing self concentration the master is guiding is for few minutes followed by long music before ending. What we are suppose to do during the music time.
I think we are just trying to feel ourselves as part of the universe. Others can speak of their experiences.

Final
I am also get a strange situation when I end up doing the SFQ I feel my energy level is very low. Is it due to more channels opening up.
I feel like I have had a very strong workout. There is a relaxed feeling. I don't have a lot of apparent energy. I just want to relax.
I assume others will respond to your questions. I am also curious as to their experiences. The questions you ask are ones I have had from time to time.
