What I do, because I am no expert, is, I just use the old-timey Buddhisst method. I do deep breaathing and I focus and concentrate on my breath. Sometimes, I count, sometimes, I don't. But when the thoughts cruise by, I recognize that, try not to tell myself I suck at meditation, and then, return to focusing on my breath again. I just do that over and over, I am better at focusing now than I used to be. Sometimes 10 minutes, someitmes 30--whatever.
I used it yesterday whe I got suepr psychotic, I do not have any Klonopin anymore. It makes my depression bad. So, Just breathing and praying to my HP. And it really calmed me and helped me make it to bedtime. I was too scared to go outside, but I bet that would have halepd to take a little walk, too, and see some puppies or babies or flowers or something.
There is tons of scientific data about how meditation positively influences a huge variety of neural functions, if you care about that sort of thig. For me, it just helps calm me and returns some peace.
Hope your day is peace.
