Aloha MB,
I'd work on him every day if it was my spouce. Do you have the Level I and II courses? If so, notice what you find in your detection and look at what CHunyi has to say regarding working withthe lungs.
In the meanwhile, visualize inviting him in to stand or sit next to you as you do your active exercises. See him coming in and doing than with you and then going back to where he belongs with a smile on his face when every thing is done.
When you'r doing the Joining of Yin & Yang, visualize him as well as yourself in the ball being rejuvenated and refreshed.
Much Love, Shawn
