To get yourself in tune, sit quietly, close your eyes and hear the music in your head in the very tempo, mood and manner you think the composer heard in his head.

Give yourself entirely to this imagined sound.  Let the swing and sway of its rhythm roll around inside you, until you sense yourself moving with it.  You see, in order to play the music, you must first allow it to play you!

Such a meditation before you play tunes your mind, harmonizing its activity with bodily action.  It also helps you find the right position at the piano.

A good position incorporates the repose of the shoulders, the hang of the elbows, the balance of the wrists and the placement of the fingertips upon the keys. 

A good position also readies the body to respond to the nervous system.

Physical tension blocks that freedom.  Imbalance anywhere in the body can tighten muscles and interfere with the freedom to play.

I think pianists miss the point when they try to control muscles directly.  They cannot.  It is better to imagine a desired muscular state and telegraph that thought through your nerve network. 

Trust your muscles; they will respond with a coordination as fine as your vision.

Picture, don't will, the movements you want your body to make.
