A clear introduction and a way to begin sitting quietly for a few minutes a day.

Meditation is the practice of training attention and awareness, often by returning to breath, body sensation, sound, or another simple object. It does not require an empty mind or continuous calm.

実践方法

Sit or stand in a posture that is both comfortable and alert. Choose an anchor such as breath, notice when thoughts arise, and return without arguing with yourself.

小さく始め、自分に合うペースを選び、明日また戻ることを大切にしましょう。

  2. 必要に応じてゆっくりにし、起きていることに気づきます。
  3. 鐘の音、または意識的な一呼吸で終えます。

実践のヒント

What if I only have a little time today?

Use the smallest possible version, even if it is only one minute. Keeping a small appointment with yourself is often more useful than waiting for a perfect window.

Do I need to do it perfectly?
