    Hi,
    I've practiced Buddhist meditation on and off for quite a while,
    but only became serious about it at the beginning of this year. When
    I started Bardon's IIH, I quit my daily zazen, replacing it
    with "Thought Control". After a few weeks, I felt as though I had
    not meditated in a very long time: I was not at all mindful, I was
    easily distracted, and I reacted to situations (without conscious
    thought). I am by no means saying that one teaching is superior than
    the other, but simply asking if it is possible that a Buddhist
    practice is more for me. Also, could the mental exercises of Step 1
    be replaced by a one-pointed meditation (on the breath), simply
    reaching the same goal by using a different means; my first reaction
    to reading Step 1 was that it sounded a lot like the phases one goes
    through when beginning meditation. If not, then I would like to
    incorporate it with my Bardonic practice, maybe before or after
    practice, or completely separately (any suggestions on this one?).
    Any insights will be very appreciated.

    Namaste,

    Derrick
