Should I choose one practice? If so, how?

[Shane Hanlon]

I have learned many practices over the years. I respect and see the merit in every practice. However, I feel like I am ready to go as deep as I can with my practice. I have heard many people give the advice that you should choose one and stick with it. Some people even go as far as to say that mixing practices can be dangerous.

Is there a most effective practice?
Is it actually subjective which practice will be best for you? If so how do I figure that out?
Is it dangerous to do two practices simultaneously?

Practices I've learned and my experience:

- Concentration practice (focus on breath) - Learned from books and was the first practice I tried.

- Vipassana practice (deconstructing sensations) - Been to 5 Goenka style retreats

- Zen practice (sit and do nothing) - some experience trying it in daily sittings

- Pure being practice (just be) - Learned from Adyashanti and Kundalini exposed, practiced a decent amount in daily sittings.

- Self-inquiry (Awareness on the sense of self) - Learned from Ramana Maharishi books and Ramaji book, Practiced in daily sittings.

- A Course in Miracles  - Haven't really given it a serious go, but seems interesting.

- Different Yoga techniques - Sorry I know I am lumping a ton of different practices together here. I just haven't studied or attempted these enough to be able to differentiate them.

*Self inquiry. *Contemplating questions that you want to know about Reality. *Body scans, witch help cover mindfulness and noticing when and where and why your thoughts and sensations arise. It also helps build your muscle of placing your awareness on.. anything really, it can get really strong, like really really strong.
