Meditation 101: When, Where & How To Do It

That’s what meditation is really about.

Where to Meditate

You can plugin, close your eyes, and go within in any safe place you choose where you will not be disturbed.

When to Meditate

Morning and evening coincide with our body’s quieter rhythms. Our body knows how to be still; we just have to give it an opportunity.

Studies show that routines that began in the morning last the longest, but any time you look forward to meditating is the right time.
