Hi Shawn,
Fantastic ...just what I was hoping to hear !
I do understand the need for the steps and the guidance - especially if this was my first exposure to meditation. I know how hard it was for me when I first started breath meditating to calm down my constantly chattering mind and I think the guided meditation is very useful. To be honest I doubt if I would have even understood the concept of just "being" or "emptiness" when I first started to meditate.
I was begining to accept that the SFQ was mainly a self-healing system and that "spiritual qigong" was something I would have to find elsewhere - so it is really inspiring to hear that the focus of SFQ is to learn to just relax into beingness.
If you want to become full,
first let yourself become empty.
For those who practice not-doing,
everything will fall into place.
