At the initial stage, most people have trouble going into the emptiness, with their minds running about. The Level I and II exercises help you to quiet your mind and direct your consciousness to direct qi in beneficial ways. As you enter the emptiness, though, even the calm direction of energy will seem to fade. That is quite all right. In fact, Master Lin said that the meditation will do itself. The most important thing is to just enter that state of absolute quietness and emptiness. So, if you can enter the emptiness, don't worry about the rest of it.
