Lakeve. I'm just saying, anything goes as long you keep doing it. With time you will get it.
I keep the eyes open all the time, and focus on the foot I'm lifting up. For several month doing it every day it's all the way up and I don't worry about the other foot. Instead wondering about the balance, I concentrate on the energy flow, pulling it up to the next spot. Then pushing it all the way down to the big toe before I hit the floor. Just take it easy at the beginning and don't stumble. Ignore any mistakes and keep going. It will pay off.
Love, John
