Sit in a comfortable position, with your back straight. I use a zafu, but if you don't have one you can use a pillow. You can also sit in a chair or sofa.

Pay attention to your breathing or whatever object you want. You can also concentrate on compassion, for example. Thoughts will arise. Let them go. Go back to the object.

Start with just 15 minutes a day.

It is not about not thinking or having a blank mind. Do not expect anything. There are no good or bad meditations. They just are and each one is different.

Just be present. Here. Now.
