The way that you focus your mind at the centre of the body, is by comparing it to the lightness, and gentleness of a bird's feather, that is floating down from the sky and touching the calm surface of some water. Conjure up the soft feeling of the touch of a bird's feather when it reaches the surface of the water. Focus your mind at the centre of the body with the same feeling.

Recite the mantra in your mind softly, as if the soft sound were coming from the centre of the clear crystal ball, in the middle of your abdomen. Recite the mantra, "Samma Arahang, Samma Arahang, Samma Arahang", which means: 'purifying the mind'— to help 87
