Relax. Relax the body, relax the mind. The first imperative. But this is impossible if I don't relax the nerves as well, something that has become very difficult nowadays since, in our wisdom, we have polluted our living, working and recreational spaces with electrical circuitry and electronic gadgetry. Our environment positively fizzles with nervous (electrical) energy. And now, with the advent of WiFi, it is even worse; there are over twenty different signals entering my apartment – imagine how that affects the brain and the nervous system. So, before you meditate try turning off the electricity at the mains and feel the difference: quiet, clean, naturally relaxed – free of anxiety. Then next time you go to the desert or the forest or the sea recognize this feeling. Success in this game requires a subtle reprogramming – a shift in attention.
