interesting! i've had soooooooo much instruction from books and from buddhist nuns and monks and have gotten a very very specific definition of meditation technique for my type of meditation because i always felt that i wanted to know exactly what i was supposed to be doing and what not to do. i'm really impressed that you were able to get good results with so little instruction. that's really cool! i think there's something to be said for self teaching with trial and error inside of a loose frame work. sometimes you get boxed in by other people's ideas.
