1. It is very important to clear our minds for five minutes before sending righteous thoughts at set times, as this directly affects the power of righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil. If we cannot calm down in the five minute-period of cleansing, we can increase it to ten minutes as we see fit. I feel that we have to firmly eliminate any interference we encounter during the process of sending righteous thoughts with powerful, righteous belief. We should not allow interference to exist in our bodies for even one second. When we are determined and have powerful righteous belief, the interference will be destroyed instantly.
2. Dafa practitioners' resolute confidence regarding sending forth righteous thoughts is very important. If we think that our power seems to be swaying between real and non-existent, or that the effect may not be so good, or similar thoughts, the power of righteous thoughts will be directly affected. On this point, there is the issue of Dafa practitioners themselves not being determined, and at the same time there is also the issue of the old forces continuing to test Dafa practitioners using this as an excuse. For example, one practitioner at our practice site was interfered with by the evil, but he didn't see the evils that were participating in the interference as being very powerful. He firmly believed that they would be eliminated by his powerful righteous thoughts. Therefore, after sending forth righteous thoughts at the top of the hour for 10 minutes, he increased the time by five minutes in order to eliminate the evil's interference of his physical body. As a result, the pain completely disappeared. After a while, the same symptoms suddenly reappeared, and this practitioner immediately realized: "This is an illusion created by the evil to shake my faith in righteous thoughts and make me feel that the righteous thoughts I sent forth a moment ago did not work. I must eliminate this interference." As this firm righteous thought flashed in his mind, the evil's interference immediately disappeared.
3. As for those Dafa practitioners who are in charge of much Fa-rectification work and have tight schedules, they also should not overlook the importance of studying the Fa and doing the exercises. Doing the exercises is a great way of replenishing one's energy to send forth righteous thoughts.

Above are some of my personal understandings that I hope to discuss with others.
