Hello , I'm a guy who's getting on in years , and has no access to a teacher of any tradition ( Buddhist or Taoist ) . Anything i know i've picked up from books and YouTube. I have a lot of time on my hands ; so recently i began to meditate . In the morning and evening. I do a half hour of focusing on the breath in the nose, .and midday i do about a half hour of zazen. I would welcome any comments , suggestions , guidance on this kind of regimen . For example would it be better to focus on one or other of these types of meditation or are they even compatible? I like the breath focus ( shamatha ? ) because when it goes well i experience some peace. Thanks

Thank you all for your responses , I have a lot to learn ( or unlearn ?) .

Just wondered if anyone here has done a comparison between the Iching and geomancy?

Hi I'm new to Daoist practice . I know a bit about the metaphysics but practice has been confined to meditating using the " Anchoring the breath " technique as described by Damo Mitchell which i've been doing for a couple of months. Not sure what else i should be doing. I'm interested in the health and spiritual aspects of Daoism. Thanks parsival
