    Hi Allen,

    That kind of confuses me, because in Rawn's Commentary he says that
    this exercise is not pranayama and not about etheric energy ... I
    have no doubt that breathing exercises can cultivate this but my
    understanding is that the Step One exercise is not about that.

    Overall, I think I am having problems setting aside resistance to
    replacing qualities in myself. If I try to inhale peace, I find that
    a part of me is attached to staying the way I am. I think some of
    the problem may be in the way I am conceptualizing the exercise; I
    feel like when I project my desire outward, I am leaving myself
    deficient of that energy, so that projecting it out and breathing it
    back in becomes a limited cycle. The core of it is that at some
    level I can't let go of my fears and my attachment to my negative
    trait.

    Any suggestions on this?

    Thanks,
    David
