I've only been studying WC for a short time and have been training here even shorter. But I cannot stress enough how important the mediations are.
The comfort, relaxed feeling coursing throughout the body and then the intense amount of just immense power surging through you when the Sensing/Sinking starts. As I say my mantra I constantly include the RELEASE mantra while Sensing my body and stay meditating on that profound feeling of it Sinking.
If I ever catch myself feeling lazy on this I stay saying "Meditation Manifests The State"
