Tap the circle to start. Breathe in as it grows, pause, breathe out slowly as it shrinks, then pause again.
Start here
You don't need to clear your mind or sit perfectly still. Meditation is practice at noticing where your attention is, then gently bringing it back. Begin with three minutes a day.
Sit comfortably
A chair, a couch, or the floor all work. Let your hands rest.
Follow your breath
Use the circle above, or simply notice the air moving in and out.
Return, without judging
When your mind wanders, and it will, come back to the next breath.
Practices to try
Body scan for sleep
10 minutes
