Meditation For Beginners: Start Your Practice Today

Meditation doesn't require special equipment or hours of your time. These beginner-friendly techniques will help you start a sustainable practice.

5-Minute Breathing Meditation

Focus on your breath for just five minutes. Count inhales and exhales, returning your attention when your mind wanders.

Body Scan Technique

Systematically relax each part of your body, starting from your toes and working up to your head.

Walking Meditation

Practice mindfulness while walking slowly, focusing on each step and the sensations in your feet.

Guided Meditations

Use apps like Headspace or Calm to follow along with experienced teachers as you build your practice.

Creating Your Space

Designate a quiet corner with a cushion or chair where you can practice consistently.
