Thanks Iam2 - that makes sense to me. Doing the "harvesting" in the middle would seem counterproductive. I thought that I had read something about when to do the ending ex. but couldn't find it in the Level 1 manual. I had been thinking about standing at the end of Small Universe and doing the full Harvesting of Qi exercises, but then thought maybe it was more important to do the ending exercise for Small Universe as it is described.
