The tricky part for me is that I have been burned by so many "teachers" its hard to trust anyone now.

Yeah - I totally get that. Most shouldn’t be trusted anyway - so you’re doing the right thing to be honest 😅

Since I have had increasing difficulty with meditation lately I have been pleasantly surprised with the effectiveness of an external TCM approach to cultivation. I've learned much more about it lately, much in the way a blind man's hearing becomes more sensitive out of necessity.
