Hi,
As the right hand moves up, do you breath in, and as the right hand moves down, do you breath out?
It doesn't mention a breathing pattern in the notes or DVD, so I presume you breath normally (ie normal qigong breathing).
I'm a little confused as I looked at a website from the Wellness Directory of Minesota before I bought the level 1 course. The website says you breath as described in my first paragraph.
The website also confuses matters as the hand movements are a little fast and do not go as high as in Master Lin's DVD.

I've been following the level 1 instructions for 2 weeks, and am very impressed. I just wish it was possible to do levels 3 and 4 by following the DVDs and course book.
I realise it's much better to learn in person, and that I need to spend a long time learning and mastering levels 1 and 2 (I don't plan to start level 2 for at least several weeks yet), but living in the UK, it's not possible for me come to the US to learn at the moment.
Thanks
