Five Meditation Tips for Beginners

1. Have warm feelings towards yourself: aka self-compassion. Be generous and caring towards yourself!
2. Prepare yourself to observe and learn: that’s the only intention you should take into your meditation.
3. Forgive your own lapses:if you don’t practice when you meant to, don’t feel bad about it. Nothing is lost: just invite yourself back into the present moment.
4. Find a mindfulness pal:having someone to share your meditation experiences helps to boost your motivation and commitment, as well as understanding of what you’re experiencing.
5. Thank yourself afterwards: show gratitude to yourself for caring enough to meditate mindfully in your busy life.
