How can I begin?
Choose prayer as a personal practice. Alongside it, consider respectful communication, boundaries and whether your wishes match those of the other person. If you are unsafe, practical support comes first.
Choose a clean, comfortable place. Read the meaning and learn the words slowly. For general remembrance, there is no count, mala or fixed time imposed here. Learn formal vows within your own tradition.
