One way you know if you mastered a step if that what that step teaches you becomes second nature to you.

Also on a sidenote i find that my biggest stubling point is getting to the state of mind where the excercise is performed,I find i often instinctivly go right at it which results in my mind almost bouncing my intention back at me frusterating me,The trick i belive is to just take the first 5 minuets or so to gravitate torwards the excercises plane by gently focusing on the intention,there i feel the excercise and its effects and its actually pleasurable.For some reason I keep forgetting this and keep trying to punch threw this boarder though,in time does this boarder dissolve or is it always a slow gravitation? BTW bardons system for some reason doesn't seem to have any Kind Energy purification section Is the energy body cleaned out as a side effect of mastering these basic excercises because I have noticed blockages removed and parts of my body coming online as i do these excercises. I'm just concerned about it because later one has to go threw pour breathing which i can do in my left side but not right (right is totaly blocked,but improving slowly) ------------------------ Yahoo!
