In conjunction with the above and by itself, the consciousness of small rituals with awareness to bring the body in tow is very cultivating and satisfying. For example, when having a glass of wine I give pause to allow specialness apart from all other thoughts and concerns. I isolate moments of my own awareness.
Another example is to pick and read a sentence from a source (at times randomly and sometimes in recall) and work the feel and sensations with bodily attention. Castaneda's wheel of time, a'Kempis imitation of Christ, my own writings are my 'go to' for this. Don't read so cerebrally; obtain to poignancy that gives rise to physical sensations and allow them to carress.
Another example, is to go for walk and indulge your detachment 'prowess.' SEE how silly you are. SEE how fruitless is the effort to be purposeful in all these doings. This **** in itself can be imprisoning as many personal and material relationships.
PLAY around, as in complete opposition to seeking meditative stillness. Let yourself reflect on or do whatever, and be good with just SEEING what it is you ARE doing. AND TAKE THE FUCKING SERIOUSNESS OUT!! I promise, you'll still be the same **** tomorrow, and the next tomorrow, only excepting that tomorrow never comes.
