| Hey pal Advice really depends on what your specific goals are. Overarching advice would be to get in the habit of sitting morning and evening, to keep the practice going when you get off the cushion (being v attentive to the physical act of getting up off cushion and mindstate/thoughts etc), to keep up practice throughout the day (mindful eating / speech etc) and pursue the aspects you find personally interesting or relevant to you and be smart about setting up your life around it. As for retreats, well depending on the time and resources etc you have, do as many as you can afford /bear to do, according to what feels right etc. |
