Hi Bardon Praxis,

Hi Sokan,

I have always understood the 2 terms of Mindfulness and Will Power to mean the 
same thing. Mindfulness takes great will power to develope at first considering 
the patterns that the mind holds onto. Once the pattern is broken, mindfulness 
is a pure channeled will so to say. 

In L.V.X.

Jim.

I'm wondering if anyone has had the same experience I have had in 
seeing a relationship to mastering the mind, emotions and body, and 
the meditation practice in Zen and Vipassana Buddhism. I am 
specifically refering to the process of observing and ultimatley 
letting go of thought, feelings (the mirrors) and the body (asana). 
Both traditions if mastered allow the practitoner to focus the mind 
on pure consciousness (vacancy of mind), and to not be a slave to the 
emotional (controling the sub-conscious) and physical bodies (body 
control). Bardons method is governed by an application of will power, 
and Buddhas through developed mindfulness.

Just food for thought

Sokan
