This channel has videos on the subject of TWIM which is the practice of meditation based on the earliest Buddhist Suttas like the Majjhima Nikaya and Samyutta Nikaya. The object used most is Lovingkindness of Metta which was actually suggested more then Breath and is faster and more interesting to practice. The practice does not just lead to stress reduction, but to the actual experience of Awakening. Delson Armstrong started his journey in India in his teens and practiced every meditation he could find. In 2016 he found TWIM and the relax step, which led quickly into the deepest states of awakening. He has written several books including A Mind Without Craving and 4 books on Dependent Origination.

I found it helped a lot if I take an extra moment to know clearly what the distraction was before relaxing. I guess I had a tendency to look away from the distraction too quickly. By taking the extra moment to know what the issue was, the relax step is more effective.
Short answer is yes. But it is part of the BrahmaVihara practice that takes you all the way through the jhanas to niether perception and from there you just observe and then nibbana. Metta is the gateway when practiced in the TWIM way and how it is talked about in the suttas.
@@davidjohnson8218 Thank you for your reply. After 10 years of 'watching the breath' practise, I did TWIM metta once and knew I was home. Are there any teachers that offer 1-1 at a discounted rate for a student? I really am ready to just commit to this practise all the way to awakening, and feel guidance is necessary.
Where can I get headband? I am most grateful to Delson for all his teaching. I hope to do some courses with Delson soon. How do I contact Delson ? Many thanks . Tholla
