When with a Wood Element, " me " , I'd be asked to expel the venom very hard, and doing it that way really did help me. In fact, the louder, the harder, the more ferocious, the better! And when Donna was working with someone less " active " with their emotions, ie a Water Element, she would have them do it the " softer " way, the way you talk about above. But for me, the soft way sucks. For any action orientated person that " gets shit done quick " the soft way sucks. And I'll bet that for the Water elements, and the Earth elements, the way that works best for me, for them, sucks. I think that there is a BIGGER CONCEPT here than one way is right and the other way is wrong. The BEST Way to Expelling the Venom is YOUR way!
