I want to start meditating but don't know where to begin. Can you tell me a few things I should keep in mind?

1. Mindfulness is key - focus on being in the moment and observe each experience without judging it.
2. Start small - begin with a few minutes each day that you can dedicate to mindful meditation.
3. Make sure you are comfortable and relaxed before your meditation session.
4. Set an intention when you start your meditation session to keep you focused.
5. Practice breathing exercises and visualization techniques to help you stay focused.
6. Finish your session with gratitude - acknowledge and appreciate the time you took for yourself to meditate.
