Steve,
Thanks so much for your in-depth reply. It gives me a whole new way to approach this and transforms my understanding of Spring Forest Qigong. It should be especially helpful for today I received the unwelcome news from my bone density test that the osteopenia in my left hip has turned into osteoporosis (borderline, I hope, and amenable to Spring Forest Qigong).

I have received the Butterfly Meditation CD, ordering it after you spoke of it. I shall be doing it soon.

My blessings to you. I hope you receive rewards that match your generosity in sharing your information.
Marian
