Don’t try to meditate when you are tired. If you are fatigued but still
wish to practice, first take a stroll, a soothing bath, a short nap, or
have a warm drink. Begin to practice when you feel refreshed.
Maintain a calm mind and an attitude of forgiveness. Be cheerful
and remain open to life. Don’t be consumed with ambition or
worry. Your great task is to raise your consciousness and your
capacity to love. Don’t worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take
care of itself. Happiness and a calm state are signs of spiritual
progress.
Don’t struggle. Don’t try to force wandering thoughts out of your
mind. Simply release your thoughts, watching as they depart. Imagine
them as clouds dispersed by the wind. When they are gone the
sun will shine through brightly. Detach yourself, be a spectator to
the thinking process not a participant. Gradually you will learn to
concentrate and direct the healing energy of the Tao.
