Feature: Tapering meditation length upwards gracefully As someone is beginning in a meditative path, it can feel difficult at first to meditate for long periods of time at once. This feature offers a method of tapering meditation lengths upwards so that you may build up to whatever your target is gradually. The overall guiding principle here is to gracefully taper up. Initially it is going to feel like you failed. If you get distracted every 30 seconds during a 30 minute meditation and refocused your attention back to the meditation every time, you were mindful of your meditation session 60 times in half an hour. The overall goal of this entire practice is not to perfectly meditate every single time, that is impossible. The goal is to improve your skills over time. Being mindful of your meditation session is one of the easiest ways to consistently improve your skills.
