note to self: current meditation techniques:

• try to decompose things I recognize, like a tree into lines and colors, and a color into red, green and blue
• try to verbally identify senses, feelings and thoughts
• try to observe brain activity as if from a third person perspective
• try to relax as much as possible while maintaining awareness

general principles

• be open minded — don't hide things from self
• be non-judgmental of stuff that's in my head
