I'm not sure what the take away was, but I really enjoyed the article. That seems appropriate.

I've been doing unguided mediation by myself for short periods (sub 30m) for years. Never really took much instruction in terms of what type of mediation i should do.

I think this article is the first thing that really made want to seek out instruction.

Any personal recommendations for books/other material for someone that's familiar with the concept of sitting meditation and can get into daily habit of 10m sessions without a huge amount of trouble?
