Every once in a while I tend to revert back to the basis of my spirituality. This would be Taoism and Buddhism. I am a Ch'an Buddhist to be exact. I like following the breath more than focusing on the Dan Tien region however. Anyway that is off topic.
I was just curious if anyone tends to do this sometimes. The whole exploring other spiritual traditions and really getting into them, then realizing you have your head in the clouds and reverting back to the foundations of your spirituality.
Also any good tips on getting oneself to stick to a meditation routine? I don't like zazen, but I know it is important. I am generally pretty bad at getting myself to practice anything consistently. Perhaps some fun or interesting ways you make yourself practice?
Also also feel free to share any interesting encounters you have had with any other spiritual traditions. Both directly or indirectly.
I guess this is kinda the random Buddhist/Taoist/Dharmic Religion story/advice thread.
