Everyday Meditation (Over real Chai)
Free for members - Become a member → absent.tech/memberships
If you've tried meditating and your mind wouldn't stop racing, then this one's for you.
A practical, guided session built from scratch for people who want to make meditation a part of their routine. Led by Reena, who has been meditating daily for years and knows the fastest way to make it actually work for beginners. 40 minutes of guided meditation broken into easy sections.
Followed by proper chai - boiled in a kettle, single origin Assam leaves, whole spices, the way it's meant to be made. With the right snacks for the cup. Stay as long as you like afterwards.
Phones rest in pouches.
Even short breaks from screens improve mood, attention and emotional connection. We’re simply making that easier to do.
