try listening to a babbling brook

For this, of course, you will need to be out in nature. And if you can find a place away from the noises of humanity, so much the better – a place where you do not hear the roar of traffic, a place where you do not hear the chattering of people, a place where all the sounds you hear are coming from nature.

Find a stream, a stream that is chattering to you. Sit by the stream. Close your eyes, and listen.

There is nothing else to do with this little exercise. Just sit and relax, and listen to the sounds of the water, as it works its way from the hill to the sea, in timeless fashion.

No need to think. No need to understand. No need to have any story at all in the mind. Just listen to the music of the babbling brook. And allow yourself to disappear.
