Dear David, >> My confusion is that, in this conceptualization, it seems like you are starting with a feeling inside you, projecting it outward, and bringing it back in. Why isn't it more efficient to just let it remain inside you, instead of putting it in the air? << It may be more efficient but the point of this exercise is to teach you two important techniques: #1) how to externalize or project your ideation, and #2) how to draw something external, into your being. These Step One techniques are a precursor to "pore breathing" in Step Two. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 08 Feb 2004 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
