When it is safe, close your eyes for 2 minutes and do nothing. When you shut off sight, it heightens the other senses. The mind tends to wander off and you begin thinking about all kinds of things. In preparation for meditating try this. Set a timer for 2 minutes, close your eyes, and be aware of what is happening on the inside of you. You are just noticing. This is a great way to practice slowing your mind down. You will feel much calmer too. I love you. I'm Dan Clark. https://tinyurl.com/y4kropz2
