Preparation

1. Be well-fed and well-rested as much as possible.
2. Get your attention as much extroverted as possible by taking a walk and examining your environment.
3. Select a peaceful environment for meditation where you would not be disturbed.
4. Sit in a cross-legged position, or in a straight-backed chair with feet flat on the ground.

The Meditation

1. Close your eyes. Inhale and exhale gently, slowly.
2. With each inhalation, mentally say to yourself: “I am not the body.” The inhalation should last the whole duration of that thought.
3. With each exhalation, mentally say to yourself: “I am not even the mind.” The exhalation should last the whole duration of that thought.
4. Repeat this for 7 to 11 minutes.
5. Do this exercise at least twice a day for a week.
6. You can remind yourself that “I am not the body. I am not even the mind.” anytime during the day.

NOTE: You may do this as a walking meditation on a treadmill at a slow, comfortable pace.
