A good foundation in the basics is helpful. First learn to observe the conditioned thinking (ego), and the emotional reactions (pain body), as they happen; and experience being present in the now moment. Eckhart Tolle's books, "The Power of Now", and "A New Earth" work well for many people, and they are easy to get from any library. Watching him on DVD enhances the possibility of presence arising, especially the retreat series, which might also be found at some libraries. You can also download these off his web site (for a fee), or purchase them outright. Some suggestions: "Touching the Eternal" the India Retreat "Freedom from the World" the Costa Rica Retreat "The Art of Presence" Retreat For more information: www.eckharttolle.com

Spit out the strawberry. Listen for it to hit bottom.

And for me as well, xuesheng.... I see that perhaps both visualizing, and observing, are one....both simply "portals / doorways / gateways" into pure awareness....not for staying in, but for passing through. Which reminds me now of the Heart Sutra....

A root of Taoism is Lao Tzu's profound statement, "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao." Then he went on to describe it in words anyway. mine, now.... a moment, a choice breathing in...space...breathing out mind unraveling one moment, one choice catch the wave, glide to freedom repeat as needed What words do you use to tell truth as you see it?

Hi Ramon, I can highly recommend Jin Shin Do Bodymind Acupressure. I have taken all of the course work, practiced JSD as a therapist, and had many sessions done on myself as well. I have found JSD to be very effective in balancing energy flows and in releasing emotional tensions. Iona has a clear presentation style in her books, making it easy to get started as a beginner, or to continue in depth study for experienced acupressure practitioners.
