    Dear "setiamon",

    >> I have been practicing raja yoga for about 10 years,not as steadily
    as i should at times but generaly my meditation has focused on seed and
    seedless meditation which is identical to bardons basic 1 pointed and
    vacancy meditation, <<

    The practice you have described below is *not* identical to Bardon's.
    If you read Bardon's description of the second mental exercise of Step
    One, known as "thought discipline", you will find that it is *not* a
    visual image that you are to focus upon. This is not a visualization
    exercise. Instead, you are to focus upon "a thought or a train of
    thoughts". In other words, you are actively engaging the thinking mind;
    whereas with the practice you describe you are essentially disengaging
    the thinking mind while focusing upon a single image.

    For a deeper understanding of these exercises you might find the
    following link helpful:

    >> P.S Should vacancy be practiced Simultanious as Concentration or only
    after concentration is mastered? <<

    As Bardon stated, the exercises are to be mastered sequentially and you
    are to move on to the Vacancy of Mind only after you have mastered the
    Thought Discipline.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
