Misconceptions about Meditation

- It's natural for the brain to produce thoughts; meditation aims to change our relationship with them, not eliminate them.
Finding a Comfortable Posture
- Find a comfortable seated position and relax your body.
- Release tension in your jaw, arms, chest, belly, hips, legs, and feet.
Managing Thoughts
- When thoughts arise during meditation, categorize them into memories, plans, or imaginings.
