Read the lesson

Meditation cultivates qualities of mind. Calm and insight are useful broad distinctions, though traditions organise methods differently. Sit comfortably or choose an accessible posture. Notice ordinary breathing without forcing it; when distracted, gently return. A short practice is an introduction, not a clinical programme. If it becomes distressing, stop, open your eyes and seek appropriate support or a qualified teacher rather than forcing yourself onward.
