Thank you for your answer, Peggy. It's very kind of you to offer me some guidance. Honestly, as uncreative as this may sound, I feel that my intuition is telling me to follow protocol until I feel more comfortable with my abilities. I guess I see it like learning to play an instrument. Playing whatever you feel like playing the first time you pick up an instrument might be fine if you have an inborn talent or you're just goofing around, but the odds of producing anything other than a cacophanous noise is slim. But if you learn the basics first and become adept at that, then when you want to experiment it might sound like something more than just noise. I don't know, I guess that's just the way I see it anyway. And I agree, intention is probably the most important thing when doing any kind of healing on another being(animal or human). P.S. Does anyone have an answer for the question I asked about what Chunyi Lin meant when he said to give A LOT of energy to the kidneys to help with cancer? How exactly do you give a lot of energy to the kidneys? Also, as I mentioned previously the cat I will be working on has cancer in it's kidneys. I am just wondering if it's safe to give that much energy to the kidneys if the kidneys are cancerous. I'm sorry if these are redundant questions. I'm just a little confused. Thanks for all the help.
