Meditation

Meditation is the practice of training attention. You rest the mind on something simple, like the breath, a word or the body. When it wanders, you bring it back.

There is no single right way to meditate. These guides compare the main styles, including mindfulness, mantra, walking and Vipassana meditation. They explain how to start and what to do when sitting still feels hard.

New to it? Read what meditation is first. Then try mindfulness meditation or mantra meditation for ten minutes a day.
