How to practice

After waking and drinking water, sit in a familiar spot. Begin with one bell, chant for a few minutes at a breathable pace, then sit quietly for a minute before opening your phone.

A helpful reminder

If mornings are rushed, prepare the space and phrase the night before. Fewer decisions make the practice easier to keep.
