PRACTICE SECTION
Five-Minute Stillness Practice
Set a timer for five minutes.
Sit comfortably in a chair or on the edge of a bed. Allow your hands to rest naturally. Do not try to meditate perfectly. Do not attempt to stop your thoughts. Simply remain still.
Notice:
- Your breathing
- Areas of tension
- The speed of your thoughts
- The urge to move or check something
If your attention wanders, gently return to noticing your breathing and physical presence.
That is all. The purpose is not performance. The purpose is observation.
