Oh, I am glad I have found my way back to this forum after perhaps 9 months. I lost my temporary housing (I'm chronically homeless due to low disability income) back then, and thus my internet access. I went from there to a few days in Minneapolis hoping to take the Spring Forest Level 1 course, but the building's air quality made me dizzy and I had to leave. After months of camping I am indoors for a bit, due to the generousity of someone. I have a laptop now, and could finally watch the excercises, except I got video, not DVD. I have not attempted any of the SFQ since 9 months ago when I was just starting.

[This IS leading up to the topic.]

I finally made my way back into energy work through a distance qigong healing session with Michael Mohoric, which was wonderful. About a month later a second, similar connection led me to investigate Reiki online, as there is a large community of people trying to share this without expense. I do feel the reception of this energy, and wish to practice it in healing.

But I have brought my SFQ cassette tapes in from the car, and want to try to learn the active exercise. And while connecting with Master Lin in person and in a context which is neither affordable or has adequate air quality for me is not going to happen now, I feel SFQ is very special and that I should find a way to begin again.

To be honest, Monica, I also wish I knew your grounding exercises as well! I too am highly sensitive, (and, Shakyurav, very A.D.D.) and they sound wonderful.

I am, frankly overwhelmed at times by the difficulty of my life and my own impairments, and it is hard to get anything right. I need simple, but I need free, and what is easy to learn, and what connects. I am grateful for what I have read here, and Monica, if you want to share your grounding exercises I would like to hear. Thank you.
