Greetings everyone. Does anyone see anything wrong with maintaining twice daily 30 minute AYP practices (10 minutes pranayama and 20 minutes DM) while adding the techniques taught in the Silva Method (about 15 minutes of guided meditation per exercise, 1 exercise/day)? Thanks for any thoughts!
"Silva's method of mind control" was the first mediation I was ever introduced to. I loved it. But this was long before AYP.
If you ask me now, the two techniques are very different. Personally I feel Silva involves too much control and manipulation of thoughts (which has its own benefits I am sure and was a great tool for me when I was introduced to it), where as the AYP type of meditation is more about letting go the control.
Also AYP way is to go inward without any external aid, but Silva is a guided meditation, so you are depending on an external voice for instructions to bring you inward.
I think you need to get used to any one of the two. Else you may not get the best out of any of the methods.
I find guided meditations too distracting these days, I prefer going into silence on my own.
So I would suggest go with any one, but if it does not bother you, you can try them both.
