To learn anything, you need to start by hearing the theory and making a genuine effort to listen attentively. After that, take time to reflect on the information, check your understanding, ask questions, and seek clarification on anything unclear. 

To receive correct and practical instructions for your meditation training, I'm delighted to share links to websites and YouTube extracts that all belong to authentic meditation traditions. 

An acclaimed spiritual masterpiece, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying is a manual for life and death and a magnificent source of sacred inspiration from the heart of the Tibetan tradition. Sogyal Rinpoche delivers a lucid and inspiring introduction to the practice of meditation, to the nature of mind, to karma and rebirth, to compassionate love and care for the dying, and to the trials and rewards of the spiritual path. This treasure of Tibetan wisdom is the definitive new Budhist guide for our times, and has sold over a million copies worldwide.
"As a guide to the Tibetan tradition and its insights into life and death, Sogyal Rinpoche is without peer."

Using a meditation cushion is more than just a comfort aid; it's a posture supporter, making sure that your body is in the correct position, enabling you to rest and relax and stay that way for as long as you can.

it's also a matter of readiness for meditation practice - because it's always there, resting evenly on a nice mat as if adorning the room with the potential for patience and durability. And it trully has an effect on the mind wishing to avoid any discomfort. 

For many of us, achieving a state of non-distraction is not in our habit. It requires practice, not just any practice, but a specific form of practice known as 'meditation.'  While meditation itself is not inherently linked to specific accessories like pillows, bowls, or scents, these are crucial for practice. Sitting on a comfortable pillow is essential, as it provides good support to the back and buttocks. Placing your feet on a soft surface is also good so they do not hurt quickly.
