My poker skills have a long ways to go to develop that kind of facility and comfort level so I'm sure that experience will improve the situation.

No problem, I hope they help. I was just thinking about another book I've read called "The Inner Game of Tennis". This was a ground-breaking book on sports psychology when initially released. It explains the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind in terms of the division of labour between the two when playing sport. This is another great read with definite Zen and poker application.
Anyway, good luck with it.
