* I try to remind myself to allow it to happen as much as
possible; it helps in clarity of presence.
Some tricks: Notice where you hold tension in your body.
Shoulders? Imagine a cord over your head holding your
shoulders up. Then cut it using a word like, "Release" or
hear the sound of scissors snipping. You will probably have
to repeat it a few seconds later, as the shoulders are GOING
to want to go back up; they were used to that position.
Cut, relax, repeat. Sounds like a hair salon.
Anyway, it works.
You can consciously relax any muscle in your body. You're
not going to accidentally shit yourself [unless you have a
problem at the time], so just relax your muscles - at least
the ones that are tense.
Then, look up. Look to the left and up a little. Just a
glance.
That's about all it takes. Suddenly you hear stuff around
you you didn't notice a moment before.
There's a lot of complicated methods for getting there, and
they work as well. Basically, you're giving yourself
triggers. Pavlov doggie style, but perhaps a little less
saliva and a little more "getting you back to that place" in
a jiffy.
If you've never been there before.. well.. then you might
need some more complicated methods to break though some crud
first. Or you might not. Everybody's different.

[4]Kenneth Udut oh yeah and counting when you breath. One
method is breathing in for a count of six, holding for six,
breathing out for a count of six.
or 5
or 10
or 2.
Whatever.
It's just being conscious of something you don't normally
pay attention. And - that's the point: being present is
paying attention to something you don't normally pay
attention to: RIGHT NOW.
That's why noticing the stuff your body does without trying
to control but rather 'letting it go' is so helpful: your
brain is ALWAYS doing something with your muscles at the
present moment. Doing the opposite of control; going into
"aware", makes a big difference to your sense of presence.
