I remember that it was quiet on New Year’s Eve. I started practicing before the IP started. I can feel Qi flowing from right body to the left. I slept well that night, and got up in a good spirit in new year morning. I can still feel the Qi after having vegetarian diet. I went on sitting in meditation and just wanted to continue to drink tea and meditate. I did not want to go outside. I stayed at home, sometimes practicing in sunshine, sometimes drinking tea, sometimes reading a novel——super relaxing. Time passed without noticing. I kept practicing ordinarily, and I felt the same as in normal time in IP. But the practice on the fifth morning of the year is very special. I practiced lying down, and I felt Qi flowing around the body for at least a few minutes, and the abdomen as if it would breathe. My mother and cousin both said I looked better than before.
