Answer
Meditation etiquette is essential for creating a respectful atmosphere. It's generally a good practice to arrive a bit early to settle in and avoid distracting others.
• Make sure to silence your phone and any other devices before entering the meditation space. Many centers also expect participants to keep conversations to a minimum before and after sessions, allowing for a peaceful environment.
• If you're new to meditation, don't hesitate to ask the instructor about any specific customs or practices they follow, such as how to sit or when to bow. Everyone is there to learn, so your questions are welcome!
