As soon as you’ve completed your relaxation exercise, move right into meditation. You’re totally relaxed. Keep your eyes closed. Silently, to yourself, begin saying “one” over and over again. Say it slowly. If you can sense your heartbeat, say “one” in time with your heart. If not, say it slowly, over and over again.
Now see the numeral “1″ in your mind’s eye. See it and say it silently, slowly, over and over. Don’t count the number of times you say “one.” Just keep seeing and saying it. If you get tired of the number “1,” switch over to the word “one.” See the three letters, “o,” “n” and “e” in your mind’s eye.
If your mind begins to wander, if you start thinking about work or supper, gently bring your attention back to “one.”
If you can, see the “one” in color. See it in soft blue in your mind’s eye. See it in green, the green of trees in the woods. (When you can see it in color, or against a background, you know you’re doing something powerful with your mind.)
Keep seeing and saying “one” until you feel it’s time to stop. Don’t set an alarm to go off at a certain time. You’ll know when the session should end. Ten or fifteen minutes for the entire relaxation-meditation session should be enough, but no more than 20 minutes.
When you’re finished, slowly open your eyes. Sit quietly for a few moments, then rise and go about your business.
