First, form a clear intention
In reality, all we’re “doing” in meditation is forming and holding specific conscious intention — nothing more. In fact, while it may not be obvious, all our achievements originate from intentions.
Consider learning to play catch. As a child, you may have wanted to play catch, but at first your arm and hand just didn’t move in quite the right way. However, by sustaining the intention to catch the ball, after much practice, your arm and hand eventually performed the task whenever you wanted.
“You” don’t play catch. Instead, you intend to catch the ball, and the rest follows. “You” intend, the body acts.
…
When your intentions are clear and strong, the appropriate actions naturally follow.

I can attest that this also applies to parkour in Spyro (and, I imagine, learning any difficult skill!) I haven’t the faintest idea what my muscles are doing when I’m performing a tricky maneuver. But my muscles know, and that is enough!
Trying to force that process, and make the correct actions happen “manually”, doesn’t seem to do any good — in fact, it just mucks things up!
So… relaxen und watschen die Blinkenlights!
