I have not explored any of Beckwith's work/teachings other than those distilled by Brian in the PNote on it and also from his participation in The Secret. This sentiment though, that discipline leads to and equals blissipline really grabbed me.
For some time I have wanted to cultivate more of a life on purpose. A life of routines and structure, partly to tame the monkey mind and also partly because I intuitively felt that it was good to have a definite set of actions to engage in every day.
For me I would like that to go:
Tapping
Meditation
Relaxation breathing
Smiling
Sets of physical exercise (2 x 30 sets push/sit-ups, dips...)
Gratitude expression
Writing
That would be a short list of things I would want to do upon waking every morning.
Also I feel that these would all be good to revisit around 3 more times throughout the day. Things like tapping, conscious smiling and conscious breathing and a number of exercises could easily be performed oftener.
Also I enjoy the idea of Eric Harrison's 5-minute meditations - that is doing several short meditations over the course of the day.
There was a song I heard on Triple-J a few weeks ago and the singer was suggesting taking an hour each day for yourself, by yourself, just to do, be and have whatever you want for that hour....this idea appealed to me immensely. So what about an hour a day, a day a week, a weekend a month, a week a year, a month every 7 years.... or something like that.
So for me...
discipline is blissipline not leads to... nothing really leads to anything... it is all now. It is about falling in love with the process... the means.
So, focus on these things. I'll apply these to my life and enjoy what happens.
