4 years ago, I took a meditation course at stanford, and failed! only time I’ve ever not passed a class. meditating made me so anxious at the time, I stopped going. but now I really want to try again. I’m committing to meditating for 100 days. anyone have tips for me??

you can do whatever you want to on the cushion. meditation doesn’t have to feel like a chore

I like this approach. so far I’ve gotten myself to feel more comfortable the first few times by lying down instead of sitting

I was talking to a Zen Buddhist monk about my developing practice and she said something along the lines of "how fortunate it is that you're a beginner". In many ways getting started is the most joyful part.
