Shut up the chatty self-referencing mind, and hear the symphony of your whole being.

One could, but I don't think that's what Euvie meant. (Feel free to correct me )
If you shut up the chatty self-referencing mind, there is still occasionally chatty mind.
It just isn't the only player in the orchestra who gets to be on stage.

Yes, but the point isn't what is "most helpful". The point is to commit to a practice that works, for you.
Recent decision: I'm going to go more heavily into Zen-oriented practice, though I'm not going to just drop everything else I've learned. Reason being it fits my purposes.

Imposing on others to pick "your" practice - which is not something I'm accusing you of, mind - gets really weird and narcissistic, real fast.
But also, practicing without *any* framework is a very easy way to get really confused at times. I should know. Been doing it for years.

Most of the methods are meant for a particular time and context in a persons life. Sometimes I feel when we chat about it there is a fantasy of resolving the issue of the perfect ‘invulnerable’ practice.

Yeah. I threaded some thoughts out on that last night.
The whole thing feels a bit fatuous at times. Still enjoy discussing particulars, though, sometimes.
