Maybe your into mushrooms. Maybe your not. Regardless, this analogy still needs to progress. The next ingredient is one shiitake at a time, which is a weird way to cook, but in the end you’ll have 10. Another term for this ingredient is “positive breath” and it involves fully breathing in calmness. Almost like the air is thick with the scent of sauting mushrooms, calmness prevades you. Once completely huffed, you’ll breath out stress slowly. Feel the stress leave your body as if the trapped vapors are released by your cooking. You’ll repeat this for all 10 mushrooms with each figurative shiitake flip.

Here is the ingredient infused with

“Sit Your Mind”

~ Mind thinks ~

~ Thinking is noticed ~

~ Neutrality is applied like a salve ~

~ Mind is brought back to singular focus on the positive breathe ~

~ Eventually, Mind thinks ~

Do this until you win the tug of war for your attention, achieve objectives to cope and/or for about 5 to 10 minutes.
