Thank you, Shawn! Your tip helped. I am finally starting to make some progress. My fatigue has started to lift - I do a half hour of Small Universe meditation when I first wake up in the morning and that really helps with my fatigue. I am now able to do about 8 minutes of the active exercises (sitting) and my lungs no longer burn. I signed up for the group telephone healing sessions and I'm finding them most helpful. On the first call I was literally moved to tears by Master Lin's kind, gentle, loving energy. I am starting to sleep much better.

A couple of quick questions for you (or anyone else who would like to answer):
1. I have been doing mostly Moving of Yin and Yang , Breathing of the Universe and Joining of Yin and Yang because they are fairly straightforward to do while sitting down. Should I add a seated version of Harmony of the Universe or is it better to first master standing versions of the previous exercises before I move on to Harmony of the Universe? (which seems like it might be a bit tricky to do sitting down).

2. My goal is to work towards a daily practice of 1 - 1 1/2 hours with the bulk of that being active exercise. Right now I am meditating for an hour a day and doing about 10 minutes of active. Is there any disadvantage to doing that much meditation this early in the game?

Thank you so much for all your help.

With gratitude,

Lynn
