There are roughty 7.6 billion people on this Earth. That means there are about 7.6 billion ways to meditate. Meditation is uniquely personal & imperfect. Often meditation is overwhelming to beginnners who get caught up in being perfect. Over the last 15 years I have seen that getting to the first 5 minutes is integral in building a practice. My guided meditation focuses on the first 5 minutes - how to sit, how to breathe, how to manage thoughts bursting through the mind, how to be patiently imperfect, and how to end the meditation. It is simply, taking the first step towards a sustainable practice.
