Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong A couple of basic questions about SFQ

Hello everybody,

I've just started SFQ again after a long time away.

I'm hoping someone can answer a couple of questions I have.

1. When I complete active exercises, do I always have to do the full set of ending exercises as Master Lin does on the dvd?

(I often do qigong late at night when others in my household are sleeping and some of the patting exercises are quite noisy)

Is it sufficient enough to rub the face, comb the hair and massage the ears in order to end/close?

2. Regarding washing hands or face immediately after practice, does this mean for 30 mins? Or simply a few mins?

Thanks kindly.
