I have been doing Level I of Spring Forest Qigong for two years and previously did not practice at all during menstruation as I had been advised against it. After recently attending Level II, I was told that it was ok to practice during menstruation as long as you focused on your heart center, rather than your lower dantian. I have tried this and have found that doing some of the exercises is ok for me, but other exercises are not ok. Also, several of the ending exercises have made me feel so dizzy that I thought I would faint. Is there any definitive answer to what is the BEST meditation or exercise to practice during menstruation and which are the safest ending exercises to do? Trial and error for me has proven to be rather unpleasant, and I would welcome any suggestions from others who have already discovered what works and what doesn't. I would like to be able to practice during menstruation, because if you get out of the habit for several days, it is much harder to begin the habit again. Thanks so much for any advice!
