Start small
Use a short session of one to five minutes. Keep the posture comfortable and let the practice be easy to repeat.
Use a clear anchor
Rest attention on breathing, sound, body contact, or a simple phrase. When attention moves away, notice that and return.
Adjust for real life
Shorten the session, open the eyes, change posture, or practice at another time if the first version does not fit.
