The first step towards awakening aspiration in the physical is to practice equanimity. One should learn to be unattached and unaffected due to changes in weather, food, various forms of physical comforts. That is the base.
Then comes exercises such as sports and games. Here one should pray and do them with the attitude of awakening the body to become an instrument of the Divine. It also implies a healthy attitude and healthy lifestyle, a balance between work and rest, activity and sleep, the type of food and exercises.
Finally, one should do physical actions consciously, dedicated to the Divine and, best, if one takes up some work or activity as service of the Divine. To work for the Divine is to pray with the body.
Affectionally,
