Re: Pattern in Mental exercises of step 1

["JLA" <superjoel11@...>]

Concerning my understanding of those four exercises of the mental 
part of step 1, am I understanding them correctly?
ps: william, or rawn, any one of you knows if I need to continue to 
practice any of the exercises in IIH after I have mastered them? I 
mean..I will lose my mastery over them if I don't practice every 
day?? Is this something you lose with time??
