"You've been meditating even before your birth, when you were in your mother's womb, doing nothing-just being. That is meditation. There's a natural tendency in every human being to desire that state of absolute comfort."
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Everyone benefits from meditation. It is accessible to everyone. There are so many reasons people start meditating—the benefits support all aspects of life, wherever you are. Experience is the best way to discover just how profound the practice is.
Everyone can benefit from meditation, yet only those who cultivate a regular habit will experience the cumulative depth and breadth of those benefits—and see lasting positive change.

Top tips to creating a habit:

1. Set a time & place
Meditation will more easily integrate into your daily routine.

2. Consistency is key
Even on days when the mind feels really busy, keep going!

3. Choose a realistic duration
Regularity wins over duration.

4. Be kind to yourself
If you miss a day, just begin again. Compare how you feel on days you meditate vs days you don’t. It’s a big motivator!
No! Simply find a comfortable seated spot where you’ll be undisturbed and can relax. Get comfortable with your coziest blanket, and feel free to sit back on a chair, sofa, or meditation cushion! Otherwise, it’ll be quite the challenge to relax your mind.
Morning meditations are often considered best (preferably before breakfast), but choose a time that works for you—building the habit is what matters most. Establishing a daily meditation routine with a set time will really help you stay on track! The body and mind are habitual creatures and will start to expect the practice at that time, so you’ll naturally begin to settle, making it easier to sit and maintain this life-enhancing routine.
