* I try to remind myself to allow it to happen as much as
       possible; it helps in clarity of presence.

       Some tricks: Notice where you hold tension in your body.
       Shoulders? Imagine a cord over your head holding your
       shoulders up. Then cut it using a word like, "Release" or
       hear the sound of scissors snipping. You will probably have
       to repeat it a few seconds later, as the shoulders are GOING
       to want to go back up; they were used to that position.

       Cut, relax, repeat. Sounds like a hair salon.

       Anyway, it works.

       You can consciously relax any muscle in your body. You're
       not going to accidentally shit yourself [unless you have a
       problem at the time], so just relax your muscles - at least
       the ones that are tense.

       Then, look up. Look to the left and up a little. Just a
       glance.

       That's about all it takes. Suddenly you hear stuff around
       you you didn't notice a moment before.

       There's a lot of complicated methods for getting there, and
       they work as well. Basically, you're giving yourself
       triggers. Pavlov doggie style, but perhaps a little less
       saliva and a little more "getting you back to that place" in
       a jiffy.

       If you've never been there before.. well.. then you might
       need some more complicated methods to break though some crud
       first. Or you might not. Everybody's different.

       [4]Kenneth Udut oh yeah and counting when you breath. One
       method is breathing in for a count of six, holding for six,
       breathing out for a count of six.

       or 5

       or 10

       or 2.

       Whatever.

       It's just being conscious of something you don't normally
       pay attention. And - that's the point: being present is
       paying attention to something you don't normally pay
       attention to: RIGHT NOW.

       That's why noticing the stuff your body does without trying
       to control but rather 'letting it go' is so helpful: your
       brain is ALWAYS doing something with your muscles at the
       present moment. Doing the opposite of control; going into
       "aware", makes a big difference to your sense of presence.
