I want to know what it is that we should visualize changing into smoke, butterflies, etc., during Active Exercises and Meditations. I find contradictions between advice from others and the Level 1 Manual. For example, some advise not to visualize changing SYMPTOMS into smoke, etc., but rather to visualize changing ENERGY BLOCKAGES into smoke. Yet the Level 1 manual directs us in Active Exercise 1, Beginning of the Universe: "When you exhale, visualize any pain or sickness changing into smoke and shooting out from every cell of your body to the end of the universe."
Now I am confused. This is essential to know. Can someone informed on Chunyi Lin's thinking about this clarify just what it is we should do?
