Opening the guide…
A few quiet minutes to settle a busy mind.
Five minutes at the same moment each day (often morning) beats a long session you skip. Anchor it to an existing habit.
Chair or cushion, back reasonably upright, hands resting. You don't need any special posture to begin.
Rest attention on the feeling of breathing. When the mind wanders — it will — gently return to the breath without judgment.
Take one deliberate breath, notice how you feel, and carry that pause into your day. Returning your attention IS the practice.
These are general preparation techniques — not treatment for any condition. Always consult a doctor before acting on anything you read here.
