Don’t meditate to calm yourself. Meditate to push against the membrane that encloses you. It is not conceivable to me that anyone will have any success breaking through it. But I encourage you to close your eyes and try until your mind is reduced to an exhausted lump of flesh. (It might be a good idea to clear your schedule for the next hour or two before you start.)

The walls are unyielding. Beat against them nonetheless. If you need a motive, use this: if you flog your brain hard enough, you may be granted the sensory illusion of having broken through, which is a special (if merely chemical) experience.
