I struggled through the first week or two but not because the technique was at all difficult. I find it to be easy for the most part. I occasionally am a little anxious at the start and need to just settle in. After that, there is no issue. At first, I rated the experience with a 3 and everyone else in my small group rated it 7-9 so I felt I was not understanding something. The instructors helped me to understand that I shouldn't be intimidated by other's ratings. It didn't mean anything. Everyone is different. A few days later, I started to realize there are some changes happening that suddenly dawned on me. I would rate the technique much higher at this point. Trust it and do it!
