and isn't that what makes us unique? The ability to disagree agreeably...
I do agree, however, that it is a personal thing. Ity isn't listed in the book, but then again, neither is licking the lemon or massaging the tummy, or squatting to poo. I do mine (SWF) this way, it works for me and I passed it along for others who may either be struggling with it or deciding whether or not to take the plunge to MC.
That said, everyone, anyone, if you have another method that works for you please feel free to post it as well. When I undertook my first MC, I certainly wish someone had listed out all the things that had helped them in one post rather than having to hunt through 246 pages of posts.
