Nothing in the Navel Center--Should I Continue?

[lomax]

I'm using the method in MAP: sponging energy from the feet to the base, stirring, brushing and tearing, then sponging from the feet through the base and onto the next... I just feel nothing after the base center.

You need to produce a stronger movement effect.Sponging energy can do very liitle but it's a good exercise at a basic level.
It's better to use the stirring effect,until you activate the center you work on.

And by the way is very painful.
