Hi SamPLaT
I am relatively new to SFQ so my knowledge and experience are limited. I know that you will get recommendations and wisdom from others on this forum that will far exceed anything I can offer - it has been their encouragement that has kept me going through some difficult times. I just have a couple of things to share - I too, have been chronically ill for several years - my problems/symptoms seem to roam from one part of my body to another. A key problem for me is a really sensitive nervous system so I felt for you as I read your post. I tried Holosync for a year, but became so sensitive to it (resulted in headaches and muscle pain) that I had to give it up. Shortly thereafter I found SFQ and embraced it with much enthusiasm because it appealed to a spiritual side of me that I had been ignoring. I jumped into it too fast, too intensely and forgot that the whole point is to relax - and developed a dizzy, off-centred feeling. And so I cut back and began again more slowly. After about 10 weeks I have just recently worked back up to 50 min. in the a.m. and sometimes 1hr in the p.m. and my body seems happy with this now.
In summary, in retrospect, if I were to do this over again, I would start with just the Small Universe in the p.m. for a week or so and then add 10 min. of Active Ex. in the a.m. and build that up slowly (maybe add 5 min. each week). I truly believe that our bodies will tell us what it can handle if we really listen.
Hope this helps. As I said there are others who will have much deeper experience to share with you. This forum is such a source of love and wisdom.
Take care!
Etoile
