1) I haven't yet done any intensive energy work, but I do have the PDF that describes NEW in full (I just need to find the time to read it and follow the instructions). Part of the problem is that I have to do my energy work / astral projection work in secret, because my mom for some reason believes AP is associated with evil / bad stuff (I think she did a Google awhile back, when my friend introduced me to AP, and found some stuff she didn't like). Actually, maybe you might have some suggestions as to how I might turn her negative view of AP into a more positive one? I've just learned that when she's antsy about something, I'd rather not push it...
