Hi Matt,
No need to apologize. I know you as not to be a mean person.
My wife doesn't buy my qigong advice either, and I still love her!
You can trust your SFQ practice. Center there and you will be fine, despite any bumps along the way. If you want to stimulate progress, increase your practice times. You are in MPLS, consider a retreat here and there, or higher levels offered.
My best wishes to you for happiness in the New Year.
love,
gallen
