Your temple is a place of impressive power. To travel to it, you may have to fly to a distant land, take a boat to an island,  or walk a path through a forest. How do you get there? When you arrive, pause a moment to look at your temple.

What do you see? A beautiful building, candles, water? Its beauty lifts your spirits, and as you focus on the different aspects of your temple, it is easy to concentrate only on stilling your mind. Enter your temple and make yourself comfortable. What do you focus on? It could be on your breathing, on a lit candle, or on a mantra. Still and open, still and open.
