Aloha minniem,
A quick response to get you started:
1. The Small Universe runs that way for a reason. Chunyi does say that there is are a few people who's small universe naturally runs the other way...a few.
2. Building up one's kidney energy helps support the ears. If you received the Level II course, check out what he has to say about black sesame seeds -otherwise do a search for that topic on this Forum.
The active exercises and meditations help build energy in the kidneys too, so doing the work will contribute to progress in that area.
You can also do the sword fingers (as taught at the end of level I) on the ears.
Another exercise to fit into your Harvesting of Qi at the end of your exercises is palming of your ears so your fingers tips overlap as they wrap around the back of your head. Then tap the lower finger tips with the uppers three times and switch their position (bottom to top), and repeat a few times.
The SFQ International Guild just had two visualization trainings here in Minneapolis. I'd recommend not worrying about what you can or can't do -it will develop after while. In the mean time, either visualize it, imagine it, or just trust that it's there from your intention.
There is a Visual Thinking booklet available as part of the Genius Code course, but right now its more important for your to relax and feel what's going on.
That should keep you busy for now. Thank you for your questions and participating here with us.
Much Love, Shawn
