Lie Completely Still and Let the Mind Roam

Take some time to lie completely still, keep the body still, and allow the mind to be as active or calm as it wants; described as mimicking REM sleep in wakefulness.

But he taught me something extremely valuable, which was the process of taking some time to just lie completely still and let your mind go as wild as it needs to or as calm as it needs to while keeping the body completely still. This mimics rapid eye movement sleep when we paralyzed and the mind is very, very active.
