Do you know of any good mediations guides? Or in other words, what resources did/do you use to get started?
I've looked into the practice before, but there are so many guides, methods, styles, forms, etc..
I just can't seem to find a consistent source that works for me.
- forgotmypw17 5y agoOne of my first guides was a book called Wherever You Go, There You Are. I learned how to do breath focus meditation and started practicing it several times per day for about a minute at a time, whenever I caught myself annoyed or waiting. This is like the 5-pound weights of meditation that helped me learn to control my attention. From there, I looked for more books, guides, and teachers, and tried to learn something from each one. I've heard it said that a good teacher can teach any student, and a good student can learn from any teacher, and I've tried to be the latter. Just like physical exercise, meditation is a practice, not a knowledge.
