On this site I’m offering my best tips for establishing a meditation practice. Most of them earned their way onto the list by way of my own experience. Others make good sense and I wish I’d known about them at the beginning of my practice. There are suggestions for various techniques you can try (because what works for me might not work for you) and reminders or why you should establish your practice.
If you would like to help the practice of meditation spread, I’ve also included scripts and tips for guiding meditations.
In-depth descriptions of a variety of meditation techniques can be found on the Miracles of Spirit website.
