The best method to receptive mode.

Just breathe and do nothing.  That is how you will energetically receive. 

​You can not speak and listen at the same time.

You can not project and receive at the same time.

If you are too focused, then I suggest letting go.

And if you still do not know how to do that, meditate.

Not with a track or listening app.

Sit for a few moments and listen to the sounds around you.

Find that one silent sound you never really listen to; the sound of the fridge, the hum of your heater, that t noise that goes quiet when the power goes off. This is how you listen and keep doing that .....don't stop, keep listening to that sound.

For those who have problems with attention deficit: light a candle or grab a stone. The visual will hold your attention while you listen to that sound. Those who usually can not follow through with meditation require focusing on an object. This is what we do with hypnotism to relax your mind.

After a bit of practice, meditation results in feelings of calm, relaxation, and even euphoria. This natural high allows you to regulate your emotions better and overcome distressing situations

You may experience sensations during meditation, whether it be casual twitching or a lot more movement than you're used to. This is said to be your body's way of releasing built-up stress or tension, so even though it feels weird, it's actually a good thing. As you continue on your daily ritual, there is less to release.

There is one caution I should mention though. This is not for those who have unprocessed trauma that they are working with a professional. Meditation can actually make symptoms of traumatic stress worse. Flashbacks, emotional arousal, and dissociation – meaning a disconnect between your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations – are not uncommon experiences. Also for those with very active awaken kundalini and have experienced uncomfortable symptoms, this can intensify the symptoms as it will spread up the process. But meditation reduces stress hormones by calming the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for our 'fight-or-flight responses to danger. So consult with your doctor who is treating your trauma.

Besides getting into the receptive mode, meditation will also do the following for you:
* Can help with all forms of addictions
* Reduces Anxiety and Social Anxiety
* Improves concentration and attention
* Can slow down the aging process of the physical body
* Increase volume in positive areas of the brain
* Can help symptoms of depression
* Quiets mind wandering "monkey mind" and can assist with remaining present.

Starting with 10 mins a day and working towards 20, then eventually 40. I find morning is best as you are fresh and still in the light stages before activity hits your brain to process.
