Iam2 and gallen -
Thank you for the further discussion and suggestions. I read the posts many times over to absorb the information and it gives me much encouragement that I'm not really "stuck", just in a phase (although a long one - over 2 months now). Gallen, when you spoke of going through such phases of "treading water", were they this long? Iam2, I agree that a "balanced" life is very important. - I live a very wholesome life except for the sleep issue - but I was once told that healing will be very difficult until the sleep problem is resolved. I usually participate in the Saturday Healing Group and have thought of asking the group for assistance with this problem. Doing the Small Universe before bed used to relax me, but it doesn't seem to be helping lately. I would like to do Small Universe at a slower pace, but I presume that using Master Lin's sounds on the cd are an important part of the meditation? I feel rushed - I too, feel a need to linger and ponder the password and sometimes have trouble keeping up to the pace of the sounds. Would it still be effective to do the meditation without the sounds? Gallen, when you refer to "bouncing" before my Active Ex., is it the same as the final step of the Harvesting of Qi (up on toes and drop down on heals)?
Thank you so much for your help.
Much love
Etoile
