Hello!
Nice to hear from you all and from the new trommer. Last year I was on a good disciplined schedule doing level 2 but I had a small stress crisis with PT issues and I was only being able to do RI during that time. I also detected a major mistake skipping the repeat part in Level 2 (I thought I had to do differences until no change then similarities until no change and that would be it; I didn't go back to check if more changes were still available). After these two hindrances I engaged in some 'fun' activities and lost some of my speed. I'm currently trying to recover my pace again. Level 2 is running somewhat slower and I'm trying to disengage from the fun activities. One thing I didn't reported back from my case is about the "no more change" point. Apparently it evolves as you make progress. In the beginning my guide would be the calmness of mind that I'd achieve during RI - I didn't have any other 'clear' reference point. Then, after I got better and my mind was pretty calm in general the "no more change" point was either a small headache or the drill would suddenly become hard to continue. The latter is similar to one of The Pilot's description of end phenomena for some types of exercise. And this is the best description I can give so far. Interesting chinese proverb I've stumbled upon last month: "If you must play, decide on three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes and the quitting time." Marcus
