FAQ

What exactly is meditation?

It’s the practice of paying attention on purpose — to the breath, body, sounds, or thoughts — with awareness and kindness.

Is it religious or spiritual?

It can be, but doesn’t have to be. Many people meditate for focus, calm, or emotional balance without any belief system.

What do I need to start?

Just a place to sit and a few quiet minutes. No special gear or background required.

How do I know I’m doing it right?

If you're showing up and noticing — even distractions — you're already practicing.

What’s the most common beginner mistake?

Expecting to feel peaceful right away. Meditation isn't about feeling good — it's about being with what is.
