Hello all. I just wanted to give an update. First, thanks for the quick replies; you advice was very beneficial in reaffirming what I was thinking.

Well, I have had the opportunity to practice twice more since last posting and things seem to be going well. I am certainly becoming more relaxed and am enjoying the process. I seem to be feeling certain echos, and am mainly trying to focus on my breathing, KS, and these echos at the time. I will update when there is more actual progress, revelations, or questions.
