Thank you for this topic.

I practice Sila or Morality in the form of simple precepts that aim to respect the life of beings and stop the creation of new negative reactions.

I practice Body Contemplation in the form of Anapana Sati (out-breath and in-breath awareness or mindfulness of he natural breath as it is in the moment) This helps to concentrate the mind. To have a tranquil mind. A calm mind.

With this concentration I practice Vipassana or mindfulness or insight into the rising and passing away of phenomena on the mind – body like sensations, feelings, mental formations. Simple equanimous observation of the impermanent, no-self, unsatisfactory nature of reality, as it is, from moment ot moment.

Reducing the intake of irritants like wheat, gluten and dairy helps a lot.

Exercise like weight training, stretching, and aerobics while remaining mindful helps greatly.

Over time there is growing happiness, acceptance, compassion.

At the moment keeping it simple and not devolving into esoteric language to convey something simple is a challenge.

Continuity of practice is the secret of success.

Be Happy, Peaceful and Liberated.
