••Notice the sensations. Rest by sitting on a step, or turn on lights on the way down if you wish. Do not force yourself further than you want to go. Notice the quiet. As you reach the center of your self, settle your attention there—  perhaps in your gut or your abdomen.
3. Breathing “Wise” in, “ mind” out. Breathing in, say to yourself, “Wise”; breathing out, say 
“Mind.”
••Focus your entire attention on the word “wise,” then, focus it again entirely on the word 
“mind.”
••Continue until you sense that you have settled into Wise Mind.
4. asking Wise m ind a question. Breathing in, silently ask Wise Mind a question.
••Breathing out, listen for the answer.
••Listen, but do not give yourself the answer. Do not tell yourself the answer; listen for it.
••Continue asking on each in-  breath for some time. If no answer comes, try again another 
time.
