As authors, we are co tangly under stress. We have all seen a few daunting deadlines or a nasty pile of edits to make, and sometimes, this can stop the flow of creativity and the relaxation we need to write well. A key solution is meditation to relax and prepare your mind for work.
Here is the base of a non-religious meditation practice:
Sit in a comfortable spot.
Close your eyes and relax.
Focus on your breathing and the weight of your hand in your lap and feet on the floor.
As you focus on parts of your body, make sure to relax tensed muscles.

*Soft music or an outdoor setting can help set a great ambiance :)
