Thanks a lot, Rawn. Now that I know I am heading in the right direction, I can just continue as I am. Another "side-question" just occurred to me. In previous meditations when trying to "achieve" VoM, I felt quite unsettled compared to how I felt when doing the other mental exercises of Step One. Twice I awoke the next morning to find that my body was aching all over as if I had run a marathon - my muscles were physcially hurting and my chest was very tight... this might be totally unrelated, but I had not done any strenuous physical exercise on either days, so it seemed a bit of a coincidence that I had just started the VoM exercise. I only ask in case it is related and it happens again. Thanks again for your help and support. Martin
