    I guess I would clarify by saying that I don't deny the everyday
    applicability of the IIH exercises; perhaps only that, as you put it,
    the format of the presentation is described as setting aside a
    special time for it. I certainly don't stop my practice when I stop
    my meditation.

    But perhaps the reason I tend to frame things this way is that, as I
    indicated, I tend to have difficulty with slowing down, relaxing, and
    becoming aware of myself when I'm involved in mundane things. It's a
    big challenge for me. Spiritual development is definitely not a
    separate realm but it sure would be simpler if it were.

    My question would be, is such a compromise okay to do ... Doesn't
    Bardon say to stop any reading or conversation? Is this an all-or-
    nothing practice, am I not shortchanging myself if I do a little at a
    time?

    Or maybe starting with a little at a time is better than nothing.

    Well thanks for answering my questions Rawn.
