It's a very simple but very powerful form of meditation
Feel your breath entering your nostrils and flowing down into your lungs. Then close your eyes, begin to breathe easily and naturally, and let your attention follow your breathing. To begin, sit or lie down quietly with your hands lightly at your sides or folded in your lap. Let me emphasize that you should never undertake any sort of meditation while driving a car or operating any sort of machinery. Therefore, when you use the technique, it's best to wait until you're in bed and ready to bring the day to a close. Although you can use this technique anywhere, our present purpose here is to overcome insomnia and bring about good sleep. Once you gain access to this silent realm of your mind, you achieve freedom from all those random images that trigger worry, anger, and pain. Yet all this mental static only masks the profound internal silence that is the real source of happiness, inspiration, and peace.
They're nothing more than habits, and 99 percent of the thoughts you have today are the same ones you had the day before. And, of course, most of those thoughts are really more than reflexes; they're automatic mental responses we've developed from conditioning that has filled us with anxiety and fear. I like to say that meditation is not at all a way of making your mind be quiet; rather, it's a way of entering into the quiet that's already there, buried under the fifty thousand thoughts an average person thinks every day. You can use this technique when you're ready to go to bed or during the day when you feel the need to relax. In this regard, I would like to introduce a relaxation technique for creating tranquillity in your thoughts. You don't need to inhale deeply or hold your breath, just breathe normally and easily.
