Bring your mind home. And release. And relax
Bring your mind home means to bring the mind into the state of Calm Abiding through the practice of mindfulness. Turn your mind inward and to rest in the nature of mind.
To release is to release mind from its prison of grasping, as all pain and fear and distress arise from the craving of the grasping mind.
To relax is to be spacious and to relax from the mind's tension.
Meditation is not striving, but naturally becoming assimilated into it. We have to still the turbulence of our thoughts and emotions.
Quietly sitting, body still, speech silent, mind at peace, let thoughts and emotions, whatever arises, come and go, without clinging to anything.
-- The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, Chapter 5
