Step 1

Find a quiet place with fresh air and few bugs, in door or out, day or night, where you can stand comfortably undisturbed for at least 10 minutes. Put on some loose clothing and undergarments. Your feet should be bare or in loose flat bottom slippers or socks. Get yourself any kind of timer and set it for 5 minutes. Choose a spot you will like to stay in for five minutes and go there and stand with your hands at you sides, knees slightly bent, pelvis relaxed, head up. Breath slow and steady 5 to 10 seconds a breath. Keep your thoughts within the confines of your body. That means keeping an alert awareness of what is going on with you and around you. Spacing out and daydreaming lead you away from getting to know yourself. Stay that way until the timer goes off.

You are now practicing "Standing Meditation".

Practice daily until you can stand for 15 minutes without freaking out.
