A good way to start a meditation routine is to begin with a few minutes of deep breathing. Focus on taking slow, deep breaths and allow yourself to relax. Once you have settled into the breathing, start to visualize a relaxing and calming scene in your mind. You can also try repeating a mantra or focusing on a specific word or phrase to help bring your attention to the present moment. Finally, when you are comfortable, start to intentionally direct your attention to your inner experience and observe what arises.
