How to Meditate Properly
- It all starts with the realization of unmindfulness. This is when you realize your mind has wandered off: it will inevitably happen during the practice as well as throughout the day.
- After acknowledging the mind wandering off, you must reconcentrate on the present moment (this can be done with a meditation anchor like your breath, or the sounds around you). Doing this will secure your progress.
- The cycle then repeats itself until the end of your practice.
