Meditation is one of the most important steps toward finding sanctuary

  1. Find a quiet place free from distraction
  2. Sit with your limbs uncrossed and with a straight back, hands in your lap
  3. Simply breathe at regular speed but breathe deeply and relax
  4. Close your eyes and think of a beautiful scene from the natural world
  5. Take a simple phrase and repeat it continuously in time with your breathing
