Self realization is the act of being conscious of being conscious. Mediation is not what you are meditating on; its on who is meditating. ...When you are not distracted by your thoughts; when you are not focsuing on your emotions; when you are not caught up with what is coming in through your senses, you get to be you. {Wise masters said} when that state was reached it was like being with God.

I am going to get into a routine of meditating more. Though I do believe samskara release through purification should be the major component of my yoga practice, I realize that I haven't been focusing on the other components enough. I decided to reinstate a committment to both hatha and meditation, things I have been neglecting. I will be spending a lot of time writing my book ( I really needed one single point of concentration...one thing to focus on that gives my life a sense of purpose...so I am rewriting the book on samskara release and thus I will hopefully be releasing some of these samskaras)...and that means a lot of sitting. So, I intend to break up the hours sitting with mini hatha/Tai Chi practices and meditations (as well as other daily activities).
I am looking into Henry Shukman's The Way app. and I might purchase it only as an incentive guide. I would rather continue creating more of my own guided meditations and my own program to follow...but this might just act as a straight line of fence posts to follow, until I venture off into my own path. And I do love Zen...something I am not qualified to teach :)
All good. All is well in my world. .
