Gallen, i always make it a point to read your comments and appreciate your insights. Thanks for helping us all.
Even though i don't practice QiGong at this time, i still do some of the practices in Level 1.
I noticed something about a month or so ago. I hesitated to post anything immediately because i wanted to see how it developed. After reading Amanda's post, i decided that i've done it enough times to post.
I go to level 3 times or more a day, plus i do the hr. to 1.5 hrs. of holosync a night. Interspersed in this is some of SF Qigong. One day when i was at level, i noticed a pain in my knee. I would say i was in deep alpha or light theta. Without opening my eyes, i just let my awareness float to that area and allowed my knee to feel the pain clearly. Then i just did that grabbing motion w/ my hand that Chunyi Lin did on the video. No sword fingers. I just quickly grabbed it & flung it out.
Truthfully, no exaggeration, the pain left immediately. Now, i must say, that i did not think to do this. I was working on other things & noticed the pain & sorta watched myself just reach over & grab the pain.
When i came out, i was very curious as to why and what instigated me to do that action. Since then, i've done it on myself numerous times and it's always been successful. But, i've always been in deep alpha or theta when i've done it.
And, there's one other thing that's curious. During holosync one night i had a very sad feeling arise in my body. I let myself feel it clearly and then i snatched it out just like i did the pain. It left just like the pain did. Immediately.
blessings and love to you, Amanda
