ADVICE

Set Posture And Begin With Deep Breaths

  • Ensure your spine is upright, shoulders relaxed, and head and neck aligned before meditating.
  • Take three or four deep slow breaths filling the lower abdomen to calm the mind and body.
ADVICE

Drop Expectations And Breathe Naturally

  • Let your breath return to a natural rhythm and check for expectations or agendas in your mind.
  • Sweep away aims like fixing or changing so your mind can be open, clear, and empty like the sky.
ADVICE

Relax Instead Of Forcing The Mind

  • Avoid forcing or controlling the mind during meditation and do not treat it as another task.
  • Relax and allow samadhi (concentration) to arise naturally through gentle attunement.
