download headspace on the appstore.

It's guided meditation for beginners but will help you build a foundation.

There isn't one way to meditate, it is different for each person.

The biggest takeaway for a beginner would be to focus on your breathing and don't stress about the thoughts that come up. Everyone thinks it's a thoughtless process but in fact it's just recognizing those thoughts and allowing them to pass.

Download headspace for a quick start or read mindfulness by henapola to get an understanding at least.

Brother, I just finished meditation on plane from New York to Kansas . All you have to do is focus on your breathing and be still. Notice how your body feels focusing on your breath (the in and out motion). You can do it eyes open or closed. If you decide to keep your eyes open, focus on looking at one spot and stick to it. As your thoughts begin to pop in your head reset and place your focus back on your breathing (in and out). Keep doing that until you feel relaxed or tingly on your forehead. My body will usually just tell me to “stop” or “wake up” After 15 minutes I feel very collected and respond to stimulus less reactively. More importantly I am more clear about things. The hardest thing about meditation to comprehend is that it’s so simple we over look it’s usefulness and value. In reality, sitting by yourself with your own thoughts can feel like the hardest task. After 15 minutes of noticing thoughts and immediately letting them go (focusing back to your breathing) everything else in life will seem like a cake walk. Why? Because your brain was focused on one thing. You already have heard the benefits. Seems like you lack the faith in the process. It really is just letting go of the outcome/perceived benefits and just breathing. The benefits and feels good stuff you want will come, but it shouldn’t be reason you meditate. People suffer more from their imagination than anything else.

You don’t meditate to free your mind. You meditate to free yourself from mind. -Naval

Go Meditate, best done in the morning to start your day right, or mid-day when you’re on break from work for a recharge. Act in faith.

Download headspace, it’s free if you have Spotify.

Basically just sit there for X minutes listening to it and focusing on your breathing. Let your thoughts come and go, but try to keep your attention on your breathing.

Start with Headspace or Insight timer and then get yourself a copy of The Mind Illuminated if you're really serious about reaching higher levels of meditation.
