Step 1 - RELAXATION is about letting go of tension and stress and bringing the mind and body into a state of calm and peace. Step 2 - CONCENTRATION allows me to use my time productively, once I have relaxed: I focus on the thoughts I choose to have. Step 3 - CONTEMPLATION is reflecting deeply on myself, my inner world and my values. Step 4 - REALIZATION is when my understanding and feelings combine, and I experience a more profound, more meaningful reality within. Step 5 - MEDITATION is focusing on a thought and remembering my eternal identity, and reawakening a wonderful state of well-being.
