Which reminds me of PNG.
So far I haven’t met a person from there for whom this isn’t a ‘default practice’.
You don’t practice it, it just happens.

Well, for me, 'just happens' sums up my practice, but I have found 'other spiritual experiences' happen consequentially.
The differrence is, for example, someone practices pranayama with controlled breath to make energy flows, but in my sittings energy flowed and breathing adapted by itself. The onlooker would think I was practicing pranayama, but really, I didn't do anything. I was just watching and it 'just happened'. The astral was a similar occurance where I layed there and I felt a slight vibration, so I sorta kicked a leg just a little, and then I was shaking like crazy, and shot out like a bullet, but then so surprised by it I was straight back.
It's that 'surprise' you see - the reaction - which 'stops things'. So my practice is stillness without reactions disturbing 'things'.
