Aphrodite,
Yes! I know I have. And not only with Small Universe. This is resistance and it is a great sign! Really! It means that you have cleared some blockage and are about to clear another. This is quite common in such development, and I know that this is the time to do the best you can (or the better as you can, or the good asyou can!
) to do as much of the SU as you can.
What sometimes works for me when I hit a "resistance pocket" (as I like to call it), is to gently bring myself back to the practice or the focus. That might mean for me to do just 5 or 10 minutes of the SU-- maybe only a few cycles "around the block". Or sometimes even one! And after massaging my ears, give myself a pat on the back (without or without cupped hands
) and know that I am breaking through, that the blockage is clearing.
Another trick I have learned (picked this up from an SFQ coach), is to do some SU
WHILE doing the active exercise. This is very effective and is just a great technique on its own terms and to clear the resistance. I used this yesterday, in fact. I did SU while doing about 10-15 minutes of "The Forming of Yin and Yang" and another 10 minutes of "Moving of Yin and Yang". I didn't continue into "The Breathing of the Universe", but I have in the past. It might feel awkward at first, but it gets easier after just a few minutes. The static posture of the "Forming of Yin and Yang" is easiest, but even the moving postures harmonize with SU>
This "doubles up", gives a powerful boost to both practices, and has the added bonus of helping me feel a little more confident and accomplished so I don't feel like I am taking too many steps backward.
Check it out!
