I would also recommend what Master Lin normally says to do before starting any of the practice or meditations, which is to call on The Master's energy.

I am a massage and bodywork therapist and I have found that calling on a higher source to help guide myself and others works tremendously, it allows you to get out of your own way so that the process can take place with ease.

I hope this information can be of some assistance.

Have a great day!!!!
