You’re ready to try meditation but have the most common question of all… HOW do I begin??

The 3 videos below cover the basics to get you going!

Step #1: What do I need to meditate?

The simple answer… not much! The most important piece is simply sitting, consistently, to create a meditation routine. How you organize your body to sit can make the process much easier.

Maybe you’ve wondered how anyone could meditate for 10, 20, 30 minutes… or even an HOUR because you just can’t imagine getting comfortable. Or you tried it and immediately your feet fell asleep.. watch below for a few tips + tricks.

A trick to keep in mind: don’t be stingy in creating comfort. Use as much to prop your hips up as you need. Layer a comfy rug, blanket or pad under your ankles/feet. That doesn’t feel right? Sit on a chair or your couch. All options are the right options!

Step #2: Ok, I’m seated… now what?

You created a seat for meditation or found a spot on the couch. NOW WHAT??

Let’s look at what to do with your hands, how to manage your energy + why the breath is a huge part of meditation!

Remember, the most important way to see the benefits of meditation is to actually DO some meditation. Every day this could look different (although at the very beginning consistency is helpful).

Maybe you snatch a few moments in your car, hide out in the bathroom, or just close your eyes at the dining room table to center. The consistent repetition of the practice is much more important that if you’re on your cushion in a curated space each day.

Step #3: The Breath

How you breathe is an important part of meditation. It can be the tool that helps you sink into your meditation OR it can be the meditation itself! When you’re starting out, focusing on the flow of air in and out can not only help to calm you + relieve stress, it can be an easy way to meditate… no other practices required.

Watch below for more info on this + listen to a guided breath practice.

Great! You’ve got the basic set up!
