1. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, sit comfortably & Take another deep breath and relax.
2. Picture a chalkboard. Put all of your thoughts on the chalkboard. When they are all on the chalkboard
erase them. Draw a dot in the center of the board. Concentrate on the dot.
3. Honor the remaining thoughts, see them dissipate and let them go. Feel your emotions honor them,
see them dissipate and let them go. Feel your physical sensations, honor them,see them dissipate & let
them go. Again, see your thoughts, dissipate and let them go, see your emotions dissipate and let them
go, feel your physical sensations and let them go. Zero thoughts, zero emotions, zero physical
sensations. Go through this process until you feel an emptiness.
4. When you notice you are feeling emptiness, put the corners of your mouth toward your cheekbones.
5. Hold that position for as long as you like.
