Some time ago I had made an asseveration that I would meditate for two hours everyday. Unfortunately that didn’t quite work out for me at that time. Bieber,with the help of some habit trackers and kids of experimentation I have now successfully managed to work in two hours of formal meditation even if it is not all at the same time. I intend to update my daily practice commitment page shortly but here is how I have been passing my days:
- 30 Minutes Anapanasati
- 30 Minutes Brahmaviharas
- 15 Minutes Contemplating the Five Recollections
- 15 minutes Tonglen
- 30 Walking Meditation
- 108 Prostrations to Lord Buddha
- 108 Om Mani Padme Hum
- 108 Om Maitri Mahamaitri Maitriye Svaha
- 108 Namo Amitofo
- 36 Recitations of Tonglen Aspiration
- Cold Shower
- 20 Minutes Dhamma Study (Samyutta Nikaya)
- Brahmacariya
- Radiate Metta as I fall asleep and while waking
Working with these practices I find my mind is much more compassionate and pliable. There’s still much to be done and I try have great struggles to overcome unskilfull desires but I’m in a much better place as a result of trying to maintain these commitments.

Thank you my friend. I can’t take credit though. It really feels as if I have no other choice. Wishing you every good blessing!
