    Considerations + Suggestions repeat this practice 3 times per week and follow up the sit with the three reflection questions below.

    Reflection questions

    1. During this meditation, did I notice my breath? If so, how did it affect my body? If not, write a brief permission slip giving myself time and space to ease into this practice. Include any kind reminders that shift my mindset from pressure to invitation—perhaps as a note of forgiveness, a prayer for ease, or words that feel most natural and compassionate.

    2. Am I able to discern the difference between my physical body creating space for the breath and the space the breath occupies within my body? When I pay attention at this granular level, how does my attention shift? What sensations, thoughts, or qualities do I begin to notice instead?

    3. What beliefs about meditation am I ready to let go of because they no longer serve me? Which beliefs, curiosities, or approaches am I excited to explore more deeply?

    Considerations + Suggestions repeat this practice 3 times per week and follow up the sit with the three reflection questions below.

    Reflection questions

    1. What stories do I have around my mind and meditation? Was there something different that I observed during today’s meditation? if not, was there a cue that worked in supporting settling my mind?

    2. What does shared self and higher consciousness mean to me? And how does this concept show up in my meditation practice?

    3. Through a spiritual, practical or simply curious lens: who am “I”? and how do I know?

    Considerations + Suggestions repeat this practice 3 times per week and follow up the sit with the three reflection questions below.

    Reflection questions

    1. After 3 weeks of meditation reflect back on week one, practice one and today’s sit. How has my relationship and experience in stillness shift and change?

    2. What are some strategies I’ve picked up during this commitment to meditation that I’ve used to bring myself back to presence?

    3. What do I need to do currently to make more room for this practice?

    bonus: Reflect back on the past month and re-write your commitment that you wrote down at the beginning of this undertaking. Through silence, what commitment have you learned is important for your well being?
