1 . Choosing a Place to Meditate
Select a place where you will feel comfortable meditating. Ideal characteristics of a good meditation place include somewhere neither too dark nor too light, and neither too hot nor too cold. Avoid any place likely to have many disturbances or distractions. It can be outside if it feels appropriate.

- If you don't feel safe or able to meditate in one place, try looking somewhere else.
- It's great if there is a meditation centre nearby, but you can easily use a quiet place at your home or a friend's.
