I want to try meditation but everytime I google it I'm hit by all these complicated Hindu terms which kinda scared me off.

Can meditation be secular?

Thanks! I've decided to download an app called Headspace. It has basic daily meditation guides for me to try for the next 10 days. I'm pretty excited. I just need to find some time and some place quiet to practice it.

I've finished all 10 basic free guided meditation sessions on Headspace and was kinda bumped that I have to pay for other meditation guides. After googling for other free apps, I've discovered Insight Timer and so far I'm loving it. Last night I tried a 30-minute guided meditation for deep sleep and ended up sleeping 10 minutes in lol.

Can't say that I've seen any significant changes in my life since meditating but it has only been a couple of weeks on and off since I'm doing it so hopefully I can make it a routine soon so that I can get all the benefits of meditation.

Are you meditating guided or unguided chonghe? I feel like I still have lots to learn before I go about it on my own.

When do you usually meditate? Post-meditation, I do feel good but that's probably because the time that I choose to meditate is the time I'm feeling happy/unstressed in the first place.

I'm still trying to figure out how to sit properly because every 2-3 minutes my back would hurt so much.

Managed to make meditating a routine before going to bed now. However I think I should try to level up and meditate for longer period. 10 minutes a day seems very short.
