Thank you for your answer, Shawn. I guess I'm sticking with what's outlined by Chunyi Lin because I'm not very good at detecting yet. Every time I try to detect I don't seem to feel much of anything. One thing I'm still not clear on is when he recommends giving a lot of energy to the kidneys. Does this also mean to do the whole 3-step process of breaking up the energy with sword fingers, removing the excess energy and then giving energy back, except doing the 3-step process a few extra times? Or does he mean just doing the 3rd step of giving energy back a few extra times?
I know these must seem like very basic questions to you, but somehow for me these things aren't clear. And I would really like to follow the protocol correctly until I am better at detecting energy and can follow my own intuition.
Thanks
