How Can I Refine My Daily Meditation Practice?

I’ve been practising meditation for 10 years, exploring various traditions. I’ve distilled a practice where I sit twice daily for 30 minutes: starting with breath awareness, then being aware of being aware, exploring consciousness’s stillness and infinity, recognising thoughts and feelings as consciousness itself, and finally letting attention range freely. This extends into daily life as continuous non-dual meditation. What could I add to improve this practice? Rupert says: ‘That’s a beautiful practice. There’s not much I can say to improve it. It’s the classic path. You start with the breath, which settles the body mind, then you taste awareness’s two qualities – stillness in reference to your inner life, unlimited nature in reference to the outer. Then you embark on the Tantric path, seeing that thoughts, feelings, sensations arise in awareness, are known by awareness, and are made of awareness. Your meditation then merges into everyday life. If you wanted to refine what happens after the bell, you could add two elements: love, which would be the expression of your understanding in relationship to people and animals, and creativity, which would be the expression of this understanding in your work and activities.’"
