The guide

Your first time

You don't need to clear your mind. You don't need to sit cross-legged. You don't need any time you don't have.

Do this

  1. Pick one thing. Slow and even or Arriving are good first tries.
  2. Sit in any chair. Feet on the floor.
  3. Press Start, or Practice mode, and follow along.
  4. When it ends, stop. That's a session done.

How long?

Three minutes is a real practice. A few minutes most days does more than one long session now and then. If you miss days, start again. There is nothing to catch up on.

Your mind will wander

Everyone's does, every time, including people who have meditated for decades. Noticing that it has wandered, and coming back, is the practice. Each time you come back counts.

What should I feel?

Maybe calmer. Maybe nothing much. Maybe a bit restless. All of those are normal. You're not doing it wrong.
