Yesterday I did it. I did the active exercise, and when the yawning and restlessness started, I just kept going. Occassionally I stopped to wipe the yawn-tears from my eyes, but kept exercising to the end.

It was worth it. By the end I was energized, relaxed and calm. I went to bed a couple of hours later, and had a peaceful night's sleep.

The experience was almost magical. I felt the energy in my hands.

Yesterday I began to truly understand qi gong as energy movement. I felt the energy move within me and without me.
