I understand the need for fasting before and after SFQ exercises, but I often want to "walk" Qigong, or fit Qigong in on a 15-min. work break, but hesitate to do so if I've had a drink of water 30 minutes before. Therefore, my Qigong exercise is very limited to the early a.m. ONLY. e.g. I have to take medication on an empty stomach about 4 times through the day, which destroys the fasting time. That makes me sad. Am I misunderstanding what fasting is intended to mean, and thus am limited to "early morning only" SFQ? Whoever has the answer, please let me know. RoSpinner
