Hello all,
As I move through these meditations, I have several questions.
1)I'm confused by the chanting. In SU it is on the inhale, yet as I start the Level 2 exercises the chant is on the exhale. Any insights? Then may be I won't find it confusing....
2) In the Healing Our World meditation, we start out with 3 gentle, deep breaths, but are instructed to exhale through the mouth. Is this an exception, or are there times/reasons to exhale through the mouth?
3) While doing SU, I get "lost". I find Iam often, briefly, unaware of the meditation, when I "come back", I'm never sure where I should be. My question is due to the alternating chants. I realize good, better, best..... but I am concerned I'm at the wrong energy center for the chant I'm hearing. It's really distracting to be thinking of which energy center gets which chant. (I often can't detect which sound is being made either..)
4) This has to do with how to handle my visualizing other people joining me in my meditations, and the active excercises. Do I just direct my attention to them at the start, as I invite them to join me? Currently I watch them change from one movement to the next as I do, or just change my focus from the meditation to acknowledge their "presence". I rarely remember to thank them and "see" them leave.
5) I have read that while I'm doing the Joining of Yin and Yang, I can also have someone elses' energy ball that I work with. Any good, better, best ways to handle getting and returning the energy balls?
Thank you for an insights.
Growing Peace
Jamie
