I could use some tips for slipping my brain into neutral, as it were. Trying to clear my mind is proving to be one of the hardest things i've ever had to do. Basically im trying to learn to be more centered, to stay in the present instead of worrying about the past or the future. And there are a couple of other areas of my life that could benefit from my being a little more balanced and centered.

So, any tips?

I think breathing has a lot to do with it. Breath through nose out mouth and concentrate on that but honestly I dont know.

Try yoga. I had an instructor back in NY that would occasionally lead meditation after the poses, though in truth you get the same centering and quieting of your mind as you focus on your body and breathing. I've been practicing fairly regularly for the last 4-5 years, and it's the best way for me to relax and shut my brain off.

How does the local stuff compare to the stuff you are used to back east?

I live in military base housing, and am mentally interesting. Probably not a good idea

I always have to meditate after talking to you.

putting yourself into a sub-trance state is pretty easy. while laying or sitting relaxed, reclined is best for me, just start relaxing your muscles starting in your toes, and slowly working your way up your body, while breathing slowly and deeply in through the nose, out through the mouth.

Enya or Tangerine Dream will help, I especially like the Optical Race album.

That's nice, whatever did i do to you? (and thanks for the advice, i'll have a look for some Enya... i've been using Mike Oldfield which seems to be helping)

Fourth Method: Meditation on the Void

"All substances are part of my own consciousness.
This consciousness is vacuous, unborn, and unceasing."
Thus meditating,
Allow the mind to rest in the uncreated state.
Like the pouring of water into water,
The mind should be allowed its own easy mental posture
In its natural, unmodified condition, clear and vibrant.
By maintaining this relaxed, uncreated state of mind
Rebirth into routine game-reality is sure to be prevented.
Meditate on this until you are certainly free.
