Even when the phone is face down, some part of the mind is often still listening for it.
We have been available all day to messages, calls, notifications and other people’s urgency. Then, when the screen finally goes off, the mind does not always stop scrolling. Images, fragments, comparisons and borrowed thoughts continue moving inside.
This guided meditation is for that moment.
In Put the Phone Down, Lalit Saraswat, a self-taught meditation practitioner, guides you through a simple reset from screen overload. The practice is quiet and practical: sit or lie down somewhere comfortable, keep the phone on silent or flight mode, close your eyes, notice the breath, and gently return to yourself.
There is no complicated technique here and no pressure to become peaceful on command. Just a few minutes that are not owned by a screen.
Use this episode when you feel overstimulated, restless, distracted, or mentally tired after too much phone use.
Please do not listen while driving or in a public place.
