Time Required: 15 minutes
There’s a first time for everything! This page will walk you through the details of your first solo meditation. To do this practice, you’ll need two things— your mobile phone, and a quiet spot to sit for a few minutes.
Finding a place to meditate
The spot can be almost anywhere, provided you can sit or lie down comfortably and silently for a few minutes. You might be at home, in your car, or in nature. And yes, that’s right, you can lie down or stand while you meditate. For this first practice, I would not recommend trying to move (eg walk) while practicing.
Get Insight Timer
Download Insight Timer on your mobile phone. Insight Timer is a free, unintrusive meditation timer that will help you keep track of time during your meditation. It also contains a wealth of guided meditations covering many different topics. You’ll listen to one of these guided meditations for your first meditation.
