Thanks for your reply Iam2! I realize that the cold sensations are just a sensation in the end and are nothing to dwell on, but I can't help myself some of the effects call to me to understand their reason for being as they are. I looked up several leads on the internet and found many of them giving mention to heat and/or cold. They talked about various stages of kundalini awakening and said that the sensation can be felt as one or the other, or both by the same individual. I will also take your advice about the looking closer into the 30 minute meditation follow up and I will most certainly continue my qigong exercises. ( After I wrote this letter in entirety , I thought back- I alway harvest the qi and stay away from food, drink, bathroom, and cold everything-am I missing something?)

I see that you have been active in Qigong for several years now and I did have another question that you may have the answer to. I know that the practice of Qigong is wonderfully beneficial but what I need to know is-is there such a thing as too much of a good thing too soon. As I said before I have meditated for several years before starting qigong, sometimes 2-3 hours of sitting meditation each day. I began the Level One ex on Christmas day of this year. I started with 30 min active followed directly by 1hour sitting meditation. I have since increased my active to 30-60 minutes followed by an hour and a half of sitting med. I would like to up my sitting med to 2 hours of small universe following an hour of active. I find small universe at an hour very powerful and thought well if one hour is this powerful I bet 2 would be that much more. Yet I wanted to check with someone more experienced to see if they thought that would be alright or pushing the button a bit too hard. Thanks again for your time.
