Hi Shawn,
Thanks for your advice. I'm sure I'll be doing the Level 1 active exercises for quite a while before I'll be diluting my limited available time with the 2nd level.
I also liked your idea of looking at energy to help visualize it. It's funny, out of the blue a week or two ago I had this intense desire to find images of the mythical phoenix. I found a really wonderful one on the web and made it my wallpaper.
It strikes me as ironic now that I had a huge picture of a flaming animal of pure flame energy on my desktop, but I was still seeking a way to visualize energy.
The Phoenix and the aurora Borealis are 2 good ways that I can visualize energy in a way that is already familiar to me.
