Hello qigongers,
For collecting energy in the dan-tiens, this is what I do now. I do the level one and level two exercises all in one go. I collect energy in the lower dan-tien during the level one exercises and I collect energy in the middle dan-tien during the level two exercises. Will there be a level three home course eventually?

For the smile on the face. To keep it there I put my intention on something good happening as a result of my qigong practice.

Happy qigonging
