Good question Darko.
Nice supportive reply Z.
Finding a solution that works for you is always good - well done David.
There are many versions of the Small Universe/Microcosmic Orbit meditations out there. Feeling the sound/energy of the "ohm" sound in each location you visit whether the vibration is from your mind, our from a recording of Chunyi's voice is a strong variable to this version.
Doing the Small Universe mediation to your own breath is ideal in most situations, as you are your own small universe. To get new students the experience and understanding of meditation, the Cd is wonderful, and once they understand that they have permission to take an extra breath when needed, get lost, or stay at an area for more than one "ohm," they really start making progress.
In the same respect, I do like following the Small Universe CD when I have the opportunity, as I find it an effective training for
going with the flow. Just as the new student can find a breakthrough in not having to do the mediation or active exercise "right," allowing myself to follow the Small Universe with however long or short the sounds are, allows for a releasing of a different kind of "right" or personal control.

Once again - helpful question, and support from all of you. Well done.
Much Love,
Shawn
