Your first 10-minute session can be simple.

Most people start seated, use stereo headphones, and keep the first session short. The goal is not perfection; it is building a repeatable routine.

  • Pick one outcome: calm, focus, or wind-down.
  • Set a 10-minute timer before you press start.
  • Keep volume comfortable and stop if discomfort appears.
