Haha I stood till I fell only once, then once I felt my threshold, I didn't push myself that far ever again. Tbh I thought it was a bit extreme but a classmate of mine used to stand till she fell all the time. She's a fantastic practitioner now tho, I don't know many people stronger than her so ::shrug:: maybe it is the way to go?
You will feel the dragon as soon as you start to shake! That's awesome. Does the heat ever come out of your palms? That's when I know I'm doing it right!
