I was listening to a recent talk from Andrea Fella, about concentration. When she asked the audience who favored one-pointed concentration vs. fluid concentration, the room was split in half. <br /><br />Same here, it seems. What I found an extremely calming practice, does not work for you it seems. Love the idea of listening to the sound of silence . . . <br /><br />With metta.Marguerite Manteau-Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956537059369707663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-40693652010710289262010-09-16T23:59:41.153-07:002010-09-16T23:59:41.153-07:00If I find myself with faster heartbeat than normal...If I find myself with faster heartbeat than normal..with anxiety..or just rushing around...I use the sound of silence to get it back down.

You can find the talk in DharmaSeed. It's an excellent talk - I loved his analogy of the fish tank and the ego-fish!dharmadancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462035407060836067noreply@blogger.com
