Meditation: How the heck do I end a session?

When you’re new, it can be a bit confusing to end a meditation session. Do you just get up and jump back into life? Do you sit for a few minutes? Are you supposed to say namaste or bow or something?

There’s not really a single “right” way to end your meditation sessions. If you’re in a class or other group setting, you should follow the lead of the group leader, of course. But when you’re meditating alone, it’s really up to you to decide what works best for you.
