To start:
Sit on a chair with feet on the ground, unless an alternative option is given to stand or lie down. Please use your own discretion. Ensure a quiet place, no phone or other disturbances. It is important in a group that each person is in their own space, respect that space and do not touch or bump another person whilst they are in meditation, and until that person walking around.
After meditation:
Have a drink of water afterwards, you may wish to write some brief notes, and wait until you are 'grounded' (not in the super-relaxed post-meditative state) especially before driving a vehicle. Some people are lightheaded afterwards & if this happens please ensure you have something solid nearby such as a table or stable chair to sit in to stop you falling.
Once fully back, smile, and enjoy the difference meditation makes to your day.
