We need to calm our lower self ( animal instinct ) in order to give conditions for true self ( our spirit ) to work upon us.
There's a way we can shut that lower self down by meditation.
Everyday find some time to concentrate on the silence . In other words, listen to the Silence. See how long can you remain in the silence. And by silence, I don't mean to concentrate on a subject or anything else but to just listen to the silent mind. There's a silence behind all those thoughts we have regularly. And that silence is the zone situated after the mind, close to our true self.
The silence zone is like the space of our galaxy.
The earth planet is our lower self ,
the space is the inner silence,
and the sun is the true self.

You understand then, that you will be more exposed to the pure sun light from the space, than from the surface of earth. From earth the sun light must first go past the clouds (thoughts) to reach you.
So when you feel like stopping the lower self from working, just run away in the space (your inner space). One thing to know about the lower self is that it loves to be taken care of, that's how it feeds. If you go in the space, it will die from hunger , then the spirit will take charge.
