Find a time and a place where you can be quiet and free from distractions.
Ensure your phone/mobile device is set to an option were it will not disturb you (e.g. ‘airplane mode’ or ‘off’!)
If there is a handout with the meditation you have selected, print it out.
If there is an optional song to listen to at the end of the meditation, and you would like to hear it, ensure that you have access to it.*

Sit in a comfortable position.
Press play and enter into the meditation.
If your mind wanders you may find it helpful to look at the photograph that goes with the meditation that you have selected.

When the meditation ends you may like to listen to the optional song, if one is suggested.
Before you return to your activities, take a few moments to reflect on your experience of the meditation and to maybe record, in a notebook or journal, any words or pictures or verses that have come to you during this time.
Finally take a moment or two to be thankful for what you have received/experienced through this meditation.
