The 5-Minute Meditation Method
Welcome to the simplest way to transform your day. Our 5-minute meditation method is designed for real people with real lives – no experience necessary.
Why 5 Minutes?
Research shows that even 5 minutes of meditation can reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance emotional well-being. It's long enough to make a difference, yet short enough to fit into any schedule.
Remember: The best meditation practice is the one you actually do. Start with 5 minutes, and let it grow naturally.
Getting Started: The Basics
1Find Your Space
You don't need a special room or cushion. Any quiet spot where you can sit comfortably works – your desk chair, couch, or even your car during lunch.
2Open Here & Still
Visit our homepage on your phone or computer. The timer starts automatically, creating an instant meditation space.
3Sit Comfortably
Keep your back straight but not rigid. Rest your hands naturally. Close your eyes or soften your gaze downward.
4Focus on Your Breath
Notice the natural rhythm of your breathing. When your mind wanders (and it will), gently return attention to your breath.
5End with Intention
When the gentle bell sounds, take a moment to read the phrase that appears. Let it guide your transition back to daily life.
Common Questions
What if I can't stop thinking?
Perfect! Noticing your thoughts is meditation. The goal isn't to empty your mind but to observe it with kindness.
What if 5 minutes feels too long?
Start with what feels comfortable. Even 2-3 minutes is beneficial. Build up gradually.
When should I meditate?
Anytime works, but many find morning meditation sets a calm tone for the day, while evening practice helps unwind.
