Meditation Basics
Eight sittings that teach attention, without needing to empty your mind.
A practical, secular introduction. The instruction is simple, the sittings start at five minutes, and the course spends most of its time on the part everyone struggles with: what to do when you notice you have drifted.
No cushion, incense or belief required.
