How do I know I’m doing it right?

Unlike other things in life, the harder you “try” to meditate, the less likely you’re “doing it right”.

Meditation is about letting go.

We don’t want to try to control what happens during the practice, or judge what happens. Whatever happens during the practice, is part of the practice. Any unpleasant or pleasant sensations or feelings are part of the practice.

If you fail to concentrate on the breath or are not able to follow the guide, that’s part of the practice. If you’re able to keep your awareness on the breath much better than most days, that’s part of the practice.

The important thing is that you’re witnessing this. Worry less about “doing it right” and more about showing up consistently to practice.
