One of the most powerful spiritual practices is to meditate deeply on 
the mortality of physical forms, including your own.  This is called: 
Die before you die.  Go into it deeply.  Your physical form is 
dissolving, is no more.  Then a moment comes when all mind-forms or 
thoughts also dies.  Yet you are still there-- the divine presence that 
you are.  Radiant, fully awake.  Nothing that was real ever died, only 
names, forms, and illusions.
