Start Your First MeditationYour Path to Inner Peace
Follow this simple journey from complete beginner to confident meditator
Week 1: Just Breathe
Start with 3-5 minutes daily. Focus only on your breath. When your mind wanders (it will!), gently return to breathing. This is perfectly normal and part of the practice.
Week 2: Body Awareness
Expand to 5-10 minutes. Add body scanning to your practice. Notice physical sensations without judgment. Learn to relax each part of your body consciously.
Week 3: Mindful Moments
Practice 10-15 minutes. Bring mindfulness to daily activities. Eat one meal mindfully. Take a mindful walk. Notice how meditation extends beyond sitting.
Week 4: Finding Your Style
Explore different techniques for 15-20 minutes. Try guided, mantra, loving-kindness, or visualization. Discover what resonates with your unique journey.

Common Beginner Questions
Everything you're wondering about but might be hesitant to ask
Essential Tips for Success
Simple wisdom to support your meditation journey
Same Time Daily
Create a routine by meditating at the same time each day. This builds a habit that becomes as natural as brushing your teeth.
Sacred Space
Designate a quiet corner as your meditation spot. It doesn't need to be fancy - just consistent and relatively peaceful.
Phone on Silent
Remove distractions before you begin. Put your phone on airplane mode or in another room to avoid interruptions.
Be Kind to Yourself
There's no "perfect" meditation. Some days will feel easier than others. Treat yourself with the same kindness you'd show a good friend.
Find Community
Consider joining a meditation group or online community. Sharing experiences and questions helps maintain motivation.
Keep Learning
Read books, watch videos, or take courses to deepen understanding. Knowledge enhances practice and keeps you inspired.
