So, when I downloaded the stage two videos I was in the middle of a lot of big life changes and stress. I thought that I had gone through all of them but I was wrong. Looking through my laptop and started up week 13. WOW!!!!! It hit on a couple of things that I have problems with.

1. I have a hard time condensing to the dan tien and not to the diaphragm just below the sternum. I think it is a habit that i developed doing lots of untrained singing and exhaling from there. The video touches on this and the warm up stretches helped me to feel this more clealy.

Condense up the legs to project up the back? Some of the things that you say during the recorded classes confuse me. Which means i wasn't clear to begin with, but i am unclear on expand to absorb condense to project.

What is the vibration in the fingers during fajin training? What does it mean? What qualities do we add to even it out? I felt the vibration for the first time today. I knew you mentioned it in the stage lesson, but I hadn't felt it yet. It was very apparent today.
