I attended this past retreat and loved it. I really want to continue exercising at home but find it really hard to comply with all my daily activities, Mainly the afternoon meditation time.
And at that I am only doing the active exercises of level 1.
Because of a Spur on my heel I find it challenging to complete all the active exercises and dare not to continue on to the level two.
At night even though I really want to meditate, I am so tiered that all I can do is play the paraliminal and go to sleep. Is there any trick (Suggestions)to be able to improve on my Qi-Gong practice.

I can offer you my personal thoughts on that.

For me if I want more time to practice Qigong, Yoga, Meditation, exercise.. etc. I look at things that are "time wasters". Is there a tv show that I could stop watching, is there internet time taking up valuable time?

If this is some of the things you deal with I suggest putting the time for personal care and spiritual growth above some leisure activities.

I would suggest finding balance. If on some days you can practice active exercises and on other days you practice sitting meditation.

I was feeling bad that some days I could only do active exercise and another only small universe. It would be nice to do active exercise level 1 and 2, small universe, and then the evening meditation... I realize that's what the retreat is all about \:\)
I guess I wanted to re-create the retreat at home \:D

Thank you for helping me see that it's all about balance and not about getting it done.

Much love,
Adhis

Perhaps every once in a while, once a week? or once a month? have a retreat day where you indulge and do three or four hours, but for regular days, maybe active on some days and sitting on others..
