• When you notice negative thoughts arising, observe them without judgment before replacing them with more positive thoughts.
• Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
• Encourage yourself to recycle by considering these items as offerings to the sangha (community).
• Use the walking breath meditation in "real life."
• Trust in the difficult. What now appears to you as the most alien, will become your most intimate and trusted experience. Perhaps everything that frightens you is something helpless that wants your love.
• Combine yoga and walking.
• Try a dynamic meditation. In the first 10 minutes, breathe rapidly in and out through the nose, letting the breath be intense and chaotic. Allow your body to move with this fast breath, especially moving your arms. Then for 10 minutes, give your body freedom to express, just explode! Sing, scream, laugh, shout, cry, jump, shake, dance, kick, whatever. Do not hold back. For the next 10 minutes let your neck and shoulders relax while you raise your arms and shout the mantra HOO HOO HOO while jumping up. Make sure you land on the flat part of your feet. Then for 15 minutes, stop. Freeze where you are. Just be. Then in the final 15 minutes, celebrate with more dancing and singing, even to music if you wish.
• Another technique of sleeping meditation is to imagine that with each breath you become filled with more light and space. You melt into an ocean of light and space.
• Imagine that you are a kite soaring high in the sky. Revel in your surrender to the wind but be aware of the string that anchors you to the ground and keeps you safe.
• Recall those times when you looked into your partner's eyes and saw the pain you caused. Remind yourself that you caused this person you love to suffer. If you can admit your own faults, if you can see how hurtful your actions were and tap into a sense of concern for your partner's well-being, then compassion and lovingkindness will flow.
• Try to do something to change a pattern (like anger). Every day for fifteen minutes, any time that you feel good, just sit down and become angry - but do not release it. Go almost crazy with anger but do not release it. Repress it in every way. When the fifteen minutes is up, relax. See if this system forces your anger pattern to change.
• Sex should have a sacred dimension at the same time as being fun. Put your whole spirit into it and make love as best as you can.
• Vow to be grateful throughout a meal.
• Meditate on the North star to help clarify the experiences you are seeking. Ask, "What am I looking for? and let the answers come to you.
