ADVICE

Start With Heartfelt Intention

  • Begin meditation by focusing attention on the heart and ask what truly brings you to practice.
  • Recognize and sense sincerely what your heart longs for, like peace, ease, or openness.
ADVICE

Relax Body and Awaken Senses

  • Bring mindful awareness by awake senses and listening to the body's life and sensations.
  • Soften eyes, smile gently internally and relax shoulders, hands, chest, and belly progressively.
ADVICE

Use Breath As Mindfulness Anchor

  • Use the breath as a home base for mindfulness and return to it when the mind wanders.
  • If the breath feels hard to focus on, use sounds or bodily sensations as alternatives to stay present.
