#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.

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.
