Start Here For Deep Meditation

Summary

March 25, 2022, 13 min

A starting route for newcomers to deep meditation: five-minute sessions with the Resonant Breathing app, the Seven Steps to Deep Meditation playlist on why resonant breathing calms the mind, Hakalau peripheral-vision practice, then the Tranquil Breath and Big Bliss trainings, Patreon satsangs, and in-person Kriya Yoga initiation. Success is framed as skill, not long hours.
