− | 1. The *stillness* requires just that--*stillness*. It is most important to still the body in order to gain a quietness for the mind to be allowed to begin its quieting process. Any position is acceptable of course, it matters not. *stillness* and relaxation of the limbs, eyes, face, hands, and feet, this will help facilitate *stillness* in the brain. That is, the electrical impulses coming from the extremities are lessened, and therefore, the electrical activity within the brain itself becomes less. | + | 1.

| + | There is a [[metaphor]] in these teachings, of still [[water]] [[reflecting]] the [[sun]]. When the water (the mind) is [[turbulent]], this reflection is splintered, broken into myriad [[refractions]]. In the [[ideal]] stillness, for [[clarity]]'s sake, the mind must, absolutely must, be still. Deep [[relaxation]], mental [[stillness]], will, without fail, result in increased [[Thought Adjuster]] [[communication]] if you are patient and willing to [[commit]] this [[time]]. |
