Dear NB, >> But the problem I described was a bit different : it was (and still is) just related to a lack of discipline. My issue is that I am quite weak in terms of concentration, which means that my problem is "upstream", so to speak. Connection with inside seems to work, at least at the basic level :-) but each days I have to realize that I *mentally slept* at least during a few hours. Which makes me banana. Well. Looks the mental excercises have to be more difficult for some people, and that I volunteered :-) << While certainly amusing the way you've phrased this last statement, these statements are unproductive. As Bardon pointed out in his little essay on the subconscious mind, it's important what you tell yourself everyday, day in and day out. When you say things like "I am quite weak", then you will remain quite weak. I strongly suggest that you stop telling yourself these things and start telling yourself that you *can and will* grow stronger and stronger with each day of practice. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 06 Nov 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
