Other exercises

  • Be present – begin to bring your awareness to the present moment. To do this, cycle through your five senses. Notice what you see; use your peripheral vision so you can take in more. What do you hear? What can you smell? What do you feel on your skin? What can you taste? Continue for about five minutes or until you feel calmer.
  • Do exercises to promote energy (see Chapter 2).
  • Perform the ‘Nothingness meditation’. Go somewhere quiet where you can sit or lie down for 20 to 30 minutes, undisturbed. During that time, do absolutely nothing. Mentally tell yourself that there is nothing you need to do right now. Repeat this in your mind as a mantra and continue to allow yourself to relax.
