Creating space for stillness

A little space to begin.

Stillness can be small. A moment before reaching for your phone, a breath beside an open window, a cup of tea without another task alongside it.

Find somewhere comfortable to sit. Feel the support beneath you and allow your eyes to soften. Notice your breathing without trying to improve it. When your attention wanders, gently begin again.

Try a few minutes at a familiar point in your day. The aim is not to empty your mind, but to become a little more acquainted with it. Some days will feel restless. Those days belong to the practice, too.
