The reason I didn't change it is because I thought I might be forcing open some energy blockages, and increasing the flow. But what I gather from you is, that smooth and gentle is the way to go. Being that it sounds right, I will be conscious of changing it. It's probably coming from the western mentality that the harder you push the quicker you get results. In the energy field it's generally the opposite "Less is More".
