What is meditation?

Meditation can be likened to going to the gym, where you train different mental muscles to enhance your overall mental fitness. Just as athletes engage in physical training to build strength, endurance, and flexibility, meditation serves as a practice to develop and strengthen various aspects of the mind.

How often should I meditate?

The question about how often you should meditate depends on your individual preferences. However, it can be useful to start small, perhaps with just 5 to 10 minutes a day, and gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable with the practice. What's most important is that you train regularly - just like it's important to go regularly to the gym if you're training your body.

Where should I meditate?

There is no need to trek to the nearest mountaintop - any quiet and comfortable space where you can avoid interruptions will work perfectly for your daily meditation practice.

How should I sit during meditation?

You can sit in various positions for sitting meditation; there’s no one right way to do it. For example, you can sit in the middle of a chair with your legs uncrossed, feet flat on the floor, and hands resting on your legs or lap. The key is to find a comfortable posture that allows your muscles to relax.

Do I have to sit down during meditation?

You do not have to be in a sitting position to meditate. You can meditate, for example, while standing or lying down - you decide what works best for you. You can also integrate your meditation into daily activities, such as washing dishes or taking a walk.
