Hello, how can we help you today?

"Life is a present which I unwrap every morning at waking." Christian Bobin 

"We think that we take our dog for a pee at noon and in the evening. Big mistake: it is the dog that invites us out twice a day for meditation." Daniel Pennac 

It's really up to you to decide when you can meditate. There's no good or bad time. You simply have to make it a habit, a routine that forms part of your everyday life. Some people meditate in the morning when they wake up. Others after their shower, or when they arrive at work. Others still after lunch, during lunch, after dinner, after a workout, in the evening when they get home, while walking the dog, before sleeping... In other words, there are as many possible 'best' times as there are meditators. Find what best suits you and stick to it. Choose a time when you aren't likely to be disturbed, when you can be comfortable and aren't too tired, when you need calmness and clarity... 
In the United States, meditation teachers often recommend the RPM method: Rise, Pee, Meditate. ;)

We also suggest that, if you like, you extend the experience with brief informal meditations (10 seconds to 1-2 minutes) at any point in the day to reconnect with yourself. For example, at the start of a meeting, as you walk along a corridor, on public transport, while eating...

It is quite normal to experience difficulties in practising regularly.

As this issue is important to us, and as a few lines would not be enough, we have devoted a whole e.book to the question:

Don't hesitate to tell us know what you think of it! 

 "Be the change you wish to see in the world" 

In the turmoil of your everyday life, you may forget to take care of yourself. You may even forget that you should take care of yourself. And your need to regain a state of calmness and clarity gets forgotten in the rush.

Meditation is a systematic process of training your attention to return to the initial subject, without following the meandering route of your thoughts. In the same way, throughout the day you should train your attention to return to the present moment and to your breath, even if only for a few seconds.

Try to identify brief moments during your daily life (sitting, opening a door, walking etc.) which could become tiny reminders to be conscious.


Do you enjoy the quality of your presence during the meditation sessions? Imagine being similarly present and conscious at other moments in your life, and not merely during these formal sessions. If you like, straight after the session, take the time to savour a few more moments of calmness rather than immediately plunging back into your activities. 

Start by clearly identifying what you're going to do first, and where you'll go next. 

List each mini action, and anticipate how you will consciously carry out this string of mundane tasks. If possible, try to control the breaks between one activity and another so that you retain the quality of presence and the special state of calmness, lucidity and serenity that's linked to meditation.

Petit BamBou account holders can access the services in two ways:

• With a "discovery" access: a free service, which gives unlimited access to our "Discovery" programme, composed of 8 sessions. But also to the "Junior Discovery" programme and to 3 meditations of the day. In addition, there is an access to valuable tools such as the "calming breath" meditation, the cardiac coherence tool and the free and customizable meditation. Finally, you will also have access to several relaxing sounds and 19 animated stories.
• With a paid subscription: a paying service gives access to all the contents of our catalogue, including more elements than the free trial sessions in the "discovery" access.

What is the subscription for?

Subscriptions give you access to the full catalogue of over 400 meditations for as long as you remain a subscriber, on the app (Android and IOS) AND on the website.

Once you have subscribed, you can view your sessions on all your devices, regardless of your subscription: phone, computer and tablet.

What do I still have acess to once my subscription is over?

Once your subscription is over, you will have access to the 8 sessions of the Discovery programme, to the Calming breath tool, to the free meditation, to the cardiac coherence and to the 19 little stories...

You do not keep the sessions you preloaded when you were subscribed. 

However, you keep your progress and your history. If you wish to renew your subscription one day, you will find your progress linked to the email address used to create your Petit BamBou account.

If you particularly enjoyed a session and feel the need to replay it, feel free to do so. You can replay it as many times as you like as long as it is part of your subscription.

However, the sessions of the day cannot be replayed on other days and be added to the favourites. We have chosen to offer you temporary sessions, in the image of what meditation teaches us: let yourself be surprised, live the moment, then let it pass...

Since January 1st, we have been experiencing every evening between 22:30 and 00:00 (GMT Paris), server problems that may prevent you from connecting to "Petit Bambou".

These technical difficulties are related to a very high traffic in the early evening / night, our servers are slowed down and the connection is not possible.

The whole team is mobilized and does its best to solidify this server so that you can find your sessions at any time of day and night.

In the meantime, we have set up some emergency solutions to overcome these issues:

- Because we suspect that at these late hours, it is the sleep meditations that you miss, you can find all the sessions of the serene sleep program, freely accessible here: https://www.petitbambou.com/en/sleep 

- You can preload your current program (during the day) so that your sessions are accessible even when our servers are down. To learn more about how to preload your sessions, click here : How to preload my sessions?

- For all IOS users, we invite you to download the latest update (available since this morning) directly from your Appstore. This will allow you to play your preloaded programs.

We apologize if your practice has been disrupted by these technical difficulties!
