The first step is to secure enough mental and emotional rest each day to give the intuition a chance to be felt and recognized. This is done by relaxing mentally and remaining inactive physically for whatever period of time the aspirant can both make available and endure. He has really nothing to do except refrain from all those activities which keep his ego assertive. He has only to get himself out of the way. This practice will not only restore depleted nerve energies but also bring poise into the mind.
