FAQ

Why do I feel like I’m failing at meditation?

Because you're expecting silence. Real meditation is about showing up — not having a quiet mind.

What if I keep falling asleep?

Try meditating earlier in the day, or sit instead of lying down. Sleepiness is common and fixable.

How do I deal with restlessness?

Let it be there. Notice it without trying to change it. Movement-based meditation may also help.

Is it okay to hate meditation some days?

Absolutely. You’re human. Keep showing up — even imperfectly.

What if I don’t feel any benefits?

Give it time. Sometimes the benefits are subtle — a little more pause, a little less reactivity.
