Thank you SO MUCH for your insights, Jeff and Jetay!
The images of filling a pot and also of climbing and plateaus are very helpful images for me.
On my very first day of practicing SFQ, my very skeptical, left-brained daughter was bitten by her father's dog. I offered to do sword fingers in an attempt to relieve the discomfort. She reluctantly agreed. In the morning she called me at work saying "You fixed me! My finger doesn't hurt anymore!" She has subsequently been very skeptical about "that weird stuff I do."
Jeff, your suggestion to use my intuition on this is extremely helpful. Whenever I follow my gut instincts in anything, I have never gone wrong. And thanks for your encouragement, Jetay!
With love,
Barb
