The best way to start meditating is to find a comfortable and quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Sit in a comfortable position, either cross-legged or in a chair with your spine straight. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Notice each inhale and exhale, without trying to control them. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring it back to your breath. When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes and take a few deep breaths. This is one session of meditation. You can practice this as often as you like.
