* Enter a mindful state, and acknowledge that the television is a source of light, motion and sound in the room you are in. Mindfully notice the shape of your own room, what objects are in the room giving off sound and light or moving. For example, an overhead fan is providing a breeze, a gentle sound, and constant motion. Notice that the television is merely another object in the room, with no more significance than things like a fan or a lamp. | * Enter a mindful state, and acknowledge that the television is a source of light, motion and sound in the room you are in.

* Now shift your perspective into the television. Notice that you can be mindful of what is going on inside the television (the show, the movie, whatever it is) as if that was the whole world. Be fully present as if your universe was contained in the same universe as what is on TV. Your physical body, and the room around you melt into the background, and now you can engage in basic mindful activities from the perspective of a fly on the wall within the TV. | * Now shift your perspective into the television.
