3. Meditate in a comfortable position.  Find a quiet place — inside or outside — that you can remain interrupted for the duration of your practice.  Discomfort is distracting and can make your meditation challenging.

4. Experiment.  Try different styles. For different length of times.  Change location if necessary.  Try different times during the day. Many people meditate first thing in the morning.  But that’s not best for everyone. Find what works for you and practice daily until it becomes second nature.
