I canīt realy tell so much about bone marrow, beacase I havenīt done much myself. My feeling is though that the only thing you realy need to do is learn one form from the Iron Shirt, perhaps the tree stance, which is a good rooting exercise. This toghether with any moving form I think would be greate for you. There is no much need to do to advanced things, which to want to do them before the basics is another symtom of being a mental type!
Perhaps the moving form is the most important beacase it helps you as a mental type to go into your body, you have to be in the body, otherways you not know what you are doing. It is more easy to stay in the head while doing standing exercises from the iron shirt, even though the exercises themself helps you move away from the head.
I canīt realy say that you should read Mantak Chias Iron shirt books, beacase they are wery detailed, and it would be dificult to learn from them without a teacher. You get lost in the jungle.
I myslelf will practise alot Iron Shirt with my yoga group, and we work from Eric Steven Yudeloves book, "Taoist yoga and sexual enegy". There the explanations are more straight ahead and it is possible to learn from the book. But most of all I still recomend you to have a live teacher, the feed back on your exercises is unvaluable. It is easy to be completely wrong if you are own your own.
For me Hatha yoga exercises are wery good way to move away from my head. Beacase this stretching of the body realy moves yuo into it, if you focus on the feelings inside of the body. But on the other side I do think that qigong is more good for you now than Indian yoga, beacase qigong realy emphasize rooting.
Good luck
