Hi,
Due to previous issues with overloads, conflicting lifestyle, etc. I stopped all meditation practice, then picked up again with a simple ten minutes of Deep Meditation each morning, preceded by a couple of asanas to wake my sleepy body up, then followed by 15 minutes rest.
I do not often access much stillness.
To be fair, I have recently quit smoking and masturbation so that may contribute to that.
Now that I have eliminated some of these habits for a couple of weeks, and I seem relatively stable in my practice (though lacking perhaps in depth of experience), I feel ready to add to my practice..
This is where contributions are welcome.
Perhaps I could introduce a second sitting in the evening of ten minutes? See how that goes for a month or two?
Or perhaps five minutes SBP before the DM, but keep to once a day.
My one misgiving is that I feel the need to be more centred in my body. Perhaps I should reserve the evening for a more grounding practice, (ten points practice/earth breathing, aka. Dharma Ocean)
Oh I really don't know. My body is very tense, especially neck and belly.. rigid!
Suggestions welcome!
Jack

Dear Jack,
Well done. It takes bhakti not to give up. I would recommend you add ten minutes DM of evening practice. I find DM to be more gentle than SB (but note that is a personal thing) - so hopefully it will not trigger overload but will help you establish yourself firmly in the twice daily sittings.
Good luck
