How to meditate instructions (20 minute tutorial)

This short twenty-minute set of instructions is designed to get you meditating today. It is an excerpt from the full discussion at https://stretchtherapy.net/why-your-meditation-practice-is-not-working-kit-laughlin-with-yusef-smith/.

In one sense, meditation is simple: gently hold your awareness on something you have decided will be your “meditation object”, and see what happens! If you notice yourself being distracted by a thought, gently bring your awareness back to the object. You will need to repeat this! Noticing a distraction and bringing the awareness back to your object IS meditation. Suitable objects are discussed in this brief introduction.

Kit has written a short introduction, ‘Begin meditation’ that you can read here.

The video “How to sit for meditation” – see below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfpJNh-g42w.

Kit recommends the “Burmese position” and this is what the video demonstrates. And if sitting on the floor is not possible for you, then by all means sit in a chair—what you do is way more important than the way you are sitting.
