A Short Guide to Meditation

🧘‍♂️ What is Meditation?

🪷 Basic Steps to Meditate

1. Find a Quiet Space
   Sit or lie down in a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed.

2. Sit Comfortably
   Keep your back straight but relaxed. You can sit on a chair or the floor.

3. Close Your Eyes
   This helps you focus inward and reduce distractions.

4. Focus on Your Breath
   Notice your breathing. Feel the air entering and leaving your nose or lungs. Don’t try to change it—just observe.

5. Let Thoughts Come and Go
   If thoughts arise (and they will), don’t fight them. Gently bring your attention back to your breath.

6. Start Small
   Begin with just 5–10 minutes a day. You can increase the time as you get more comfortable.
