Step 8. Follow the breath. When you feel relaxed, it is time to distract your left brain. The goal is to think of nothing. Focus on your normal breathing -- in and out. Follow it with your imagination as it goes in through the nose, curling into the lungs, and back out. Keep stillness. Try to do nothing but follow the breathing. Counting in and out is fine. Breathe normally. Do this for around ten to twenty minutes. If you are like most people, you follow your breath a few times, and then suddenly realize that your mind has drifted back to some everyday thought. Don't fret. Just smile and refocus on your breath. Get stillness back. Taking quiet time works in ways we don't need to understand, so just enjoy this wonderful personal time.

They have none of the damage caused by negative impressions from media or people, so they have unlimited potential so long as you use mentality control to keep them that way." Blake is a graduate of the Royal Naval Academy and Britannia Royal Naval College, has a Master's Degree in Business Administration from Durham University in the United Kingdom and a Bachelor's Degree of Science from England's Royal College of Radiotherapy. "In the weeks, months, and years ahead," he advises those following his plan, "you will build such a large reservoir of this nothingness that the rewiring builds its own momentum."

Only mystics can achieve that. Attempt to take quiet time daily, nothing more."
