Not sure what the ethics of retrieval are... since I am not officially trained, I wonder it I should attempt to do them anyway.. especially right now when I am still recovering from a cold which causes coughing fits and breaks my sessions. This morning I ran into a Union calvary squad... didn't know what to do because it caught me by surprise... I had no guide so I tried to continue with my exercise... the coughing fit broke the session... then, thought... oh, I could use the energy conversion box to put aside stuff not helpful to my session progress... is that ethical or okay to do... ignor or put extraneous retrievals off for a more convenient time?

Hello Seraphis1;
I would not worry too much about ethics/etiquette; just be open and willing to help.
You were show the Calvary squad for a reason, and like it says in the Bruce AK guidebook chap 3 page 5 Model of consciousness "Once you can identify the feeling of any area within consciousness, merely remembering and re-experiencing that feeling will automatically shift your awareness back to that area of consciousness"...so you can always go back when your're feeling better.. 8-)
Keep it up and thank for sharing.

Seraphis,  I hear you! 
Back when I was training myself with the tapes and Bruce's first book, I would dread the couch/cold syndrome as it would knock me out of my carefully constructed meditation.  It;s a delicate period but you'll gain strength and get past it, believe me.

Hi Gordon: Yeah it just blows you out over most of it now but I still am needing a lot of sleep and I still have phlegm got any herbal tea ideas that can clear phlegm.

Once I was "trained" to do retrievals at Monroe Institute I found i had been doing them for a very long time without realizing it. I think you may find the same thing in time. Keep practicing!
