Yes, your comment on carving out our own path resonates with me. People often ask me what I have learned from studying all of these different groups. There may be many different answers but one clear thing is that whatever path we have is unique irrespective of the particular religion we belong to. Still, I do identify with some paths more than others; maybe from past lives, maybe from current life influences.
For now, I actually do study a few different paths and sometimes combine elements to suit my individual needs. I will explain. I tend to have shorter attention span and chanting out loud for about 20 minutes allows my mind to focus more. I will then usually start Simran for another 20 minutes repeating one mantra. I learned some suggestions from a book Bandginama by Sardar Raghbir Bir that I picked up from a local gurudwara. I find this usually works well. I also study from other texts such as the Bhagavad Gita that address previously mentioned questions that I have asked. Sometimes during the day I will incorporate prayer. I may say a prayer for the safety of animals I see near a busy road or for personal situations.
