Start here
Taste one minute. Notice sound. Write by hand. Learn what counts as an appearance. Then, and only then, approach longer intervals.
Open Learning to NoticeWhat this is not
It is not a promise of calm, healing, clarity, mystical experience, or correct prayer.
It is not a competition in stillness.
It is not a halachic ruling, clinical intervention, or substitute for appropriate rabbinic, medical, or mental-health guidance.
