... I think Sky's question concerned what to do when not practice, not how to practice!

I don't know what the HT system says about this. In my own practice I certainly do what I call simply 'paying attention'! That is all the time not having things in my mind except what is happening at the moment, and as little of that as I can manage.

But perhaps you mean something more technical - I can point to the fact that Singing Ocean talks about alchemy continuing in his experience well past the moment of actually practicing. In my own practice this also occurs, suddenly feeling something wonderful readjusting even though I have done nothing. This though is not the same as my 'paying attention'...

I recall many differences instances that have been mentioned in the past, for example Michael (Winn, who is usually here to welcome people BTW but seems to be busy just now) I recollect once said that he had never been bothered by cigarette smoke since he realized that he could draw in his belt channel when people were smoking.

I guess what I'm saying is that, although there may not be any *one specific* technique for 'practicing when not practicing' taught here, there are are alot of ways in which people find this occurring, whether it is alchemy continuing, some fringe benefit like the smoking thing, or something else again. The practice given here seems to repay investigation with personal wrinkles and ideas for things like that, and it also seems in the higher levels to produce alchemy that occurs continuously rather than only when 'actually doing it'.

I hope someone else will chime in here but that's all that I myself can think of. j
