Meditating is simpler (and harder) than people think. Make sure you're somewhere where you can relax into this process, set a timer, and give it a shot.
1) take a seat
Find a place that feels calm and quiet to you
2) set a time limit
If you're just beginning it can help to choose a short time (5, 10 minutes)
3) Notice your body
You can sit in a chair with your feet on the floor, you can sit loosely cross-legged, you can kneel - all are fine. Just make sure you are in a stable position you can stay in for a while
4) Feel your breath
Follow the sensation of your breath as it goes in and as it goes out
5) notice when your mind has wandered
Inevitably your attention will leave the breath and wonder to other places. When you get around to noticing that your mind has wandered - in a few seconds, a minute, five minutes - simply return your attention to the breath
6) Be Kind to your wandering mind
Don't judge or obsess over the content of the thoughts you find yourself lost in. Just come back.
7) close with kindness
When you're ready gently lift your gaze (if your eyes are closed open them). Take a moment and notice any sounds in the environment. Notice how your body feels right now. Notice your thoughts and emotions.
That's it! You focus your attention, your mind wanders, you bring it back, and you try to do it as kindly as possible.
