Any amount of time spent meditating can be beneficial. You can also use noises from around you or from the outside as part of the meditation if you don't have a perfectly calm environment. • After that, either sits cross-legged on the floor or in a comfortable chair. Sit as straight as possible with your spine and back, and your chin pointing slightly down so your neck is straight. Relax your mouth, shoulders, and stomach muscles. Then, while you breathe normally, begin by settling into your place or Spiritual retreat center and bringing awareness to your breath. Your breath may get deeper and calmer as you become more conscious of it. Feel how it feels to breathe. As you inhale and exhale deeply, concentrate on the breath. Consider the feel of air going through your nose and out your mouth. Observe how your chest expands and contracts. Be conscious of your bodily sensations all over your body. • It is natural to have a lot of ‘chatter in your thoughts when you first start meditating. You might have a lot of thoughts flying through your head. Begin to notice the thoughts that come to mind, as well as any bodily feelings or emotions that go along with them.

If you don't try to stop them, they'll keep flowing like a river. Recognize your ideas and accept that they exist, but don't engage with them. Allow one thought to lead to another. • Return your attention to your breathing. Return to your breath whenever you find yourself straying away. You can either keep focusing on your breath or use a mantra like "Aum" or a familiar prayer. Keep your attention on your breath or your mantra. • You can stop meditating whenever you like, however, 15 minutes is the minimum period recommended. Even with less, however, results can be seen.
