To any1 whos feeling helpful ;), > I've always admired your choice of yahoo ID names (An Unused Name, > Damnit!). ;-) > > My best to you, > :) Rawn Clark > 31 Dec 2002 :) you wouldn't believe the gibberish that had already been taken! Having thought over these things a few times (and leafed through the fbm archives) i'd really like to get a 2nd opinion on a few things (i'll limit my queries to 2 per post ;) ). 1) In classifying charactoristics under each element I concentrated on how the `situational` charactoristic felt ... and specifically "where" I felt it. Previous work with the elements highlighted the fact that they each produce sensations in the physical body differently. Anger/hatred for instance seems to be felt most strongly in my head. Do you think that using kinesthetic sensation in this way is a reasonable method for use in this exercise? (I note that bardon makes mention of the elements in a similar way ... is this how this info is meant to be used?) 2) In the step1 breathing exercises 4 qualities are listed. Firstly, it seems that each corresponds to a different element. Is this signficant ... as intro to elemental breathing maybe? Secondly, real Health is a very holistic thing, surely this exercise alone can't really be expected to maintain/produce it. To refocus attention onto improving health in everyday life is one thing, but I get the feeling this exercise is supposed to be simpler/ more direct than this. What is meant by `achieving health` in this context? ... achieving a basic level of commitment to being/feeling healthy maybe? Joe.
