You don't need a cushion, an app, or a robe. You need five minutes and a willingness to notice what your mind actually does when you stop feeding it.
The first time you sit, it will feel like nothing is happening. That is the beginning of something happening. The mind quietens the way a lake quietens — not by being told to, but by being left alone.
What sitting is not
It is not emptying the mind. It is not achieving bliss. It is not a productivity hack. It is simply the practice of being present, one breath at a time, and returning — gently — every time you drift.
