How to Start (No Fancy Gear Needed)

3. Close your eyes. And let the mind settle like a lazy river.

Got a wild train of thoughts? Don’t fight it. Just acknowledge them and then gently bring your focus back to your breath.
Give it a whirl! Soon you’ll feel calmer, sharper, and more energized – because turning your brain into a zen‑hub is the oldest, smartest trick we’ve got.
