When swimming laps I often imagine that as my arm goes in I'm reaching for the very best cookie I've ever eaten; does that count as spiritual?
Only if you're the 'cookie monster'

If I may, not mental imagery, (paraphrasing Bob Monroe,)" consider that you are more than your physical body."
If not, okay; if so, "be."
While swimming recently, I realized that my right arm entry was much smoother than my left (few bubbles). It dawned upon me, that my right arm felt like it was slipping into a sleeve smoothly, wheras the left felt like it was getting caught in the sleeve.
A few adjustments later, the left side is much better!
Music is a big thing for me...I put together a very uplifting music soundtrack that it easy for me to get 'lost' into. It was a tip I got from watching interviews with Yiannis Kouros .
