Hello Gallen - If one is dealing with depression which comes from the heart but affects the physical body,then would it be best to focus in the middle dantain. The smile seems so important to healing, but it is difficult to achieve and maintain when depressed - it feels imposed and false. When I first began SFQ I immediately felt much better - more physical energy, less physical pain and a better frame of mind. It lasted for about 6 weeks and then it's as if a huge blockage appeared that I haven't been able to move past. I have continued to practise faithfully using the first 4 Level 1 Active Ex. in the am and Small Universe in the pm, but haven't been able to move forward. During my practise I have to consciously and continually remove the frown from my face and try to replace it with a smile. I don't know why this seems so difficult. My physical energy is low as is my emotional/mental energy. I have felt some spiritual awakenings. I'm wondering if it's time for a change - should I maybe try to focus in the middle dantain?
Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated.
