Hi Blake.

I started meditating following the TMI method 45 days ago and have been regular in my practice since. I’ve added a second session in the evening and seeing encouraging results.

I’m really interested in taking the dedicated practitioner course and have applied. Similar to Prashant above have not done a retreat yet but planning to do some in the future.

Blessings,

Francis Renaud

Hello Florian.

Thanks for your testimonial and contribution. It’s pleasant to see others having similar experiences.

Striving or craving for progress is always a thing to watch … or let go of. As often as I remember to do so, I try to appreciate the delight in following the subtle sensations of the breath when I can remove the conceptual sheets that wrap the raw sensory input at their core.

As for training the back musculature that is a great advice especially since I work at the computer all day. I’ll try to incorporate one or two back exercises in my daily routine.

That is a good strategy. Off the cushion, strengthen postural muscles. On the cushion, not worrying to much about it.

Speaking of cushion, I actually use a meditation bench that I built following some specifications found on the net a long time ago. But I just ordered a zafu + zabuton combo. I’ll see how it helps with the posture.

All the best,

Francis
