In CC's version of recapitulation (or at least in the version which most modern-day practitioners attempt to perform), one is theoretically attempting to "recapture energy stuck in the past." Er... not only impossible, but kinda silly when you think about it. Energy, time, past, present, future and self are all the same thing when you really stop to think about it. No amount of breathing & coughing and wheezing is going to recapture "lost energy". The only thing that can do that is simply letting it go.
Just to clarify here, I don't think that the energy is stuck in the past, but when the mind is preoccupied with the past, that does take up energy that we could be using for other things, here and now. The recapitulation is a way, granted its not the way for everyone, to work on "letting it go".
