Answer
A simple way to begin:
First thing in the morning
1. Try meditating on the feelings of the hairs in your nose. Feel the air going in and out as you naturally breath. This simple exercise really helps with stress reduction.
2. If your mind races, go back to the feeling of your breath flowing through the hairs in your nose.
3. Let your thoughts come and go; don't stop your thoughts but don't get lost in them. Simply return to your breathing.
4. Feel as if your thoughts and anxieties were melting and dissolving as they arise.
5. Throughout the day, be mindful of your breathing.
In the afternoon:
1. Go to a park and release you mind out into the world.
2. Keep your eyes steady, but let your mind expand into the space around you.
3. Let you mind expand as far as you can.
4. Rest in that expanded state.
In the evening before bed:
1. Confess anything that's bothering you.
2. Pray for what you need.
3. Vow to do the best you can.
4. Then, imagine white light filling your body through the crown of your head completely purifying you.
5. The light fills and surrounds you as you fall asleep.
