How can beginners start meditating?

nhs.uk

To start meditating, find a quiet and comfortable space free from distractions. You can sit on the floor, a chair, or even lie down if needed, but keep your back straight and relaxed. Close your eyes and begin by focusing on your breath, observing the sensations of each inhale and exhale. If your mind wanders, gently bring your focus back to your breath without judgment[2][5].

Begin with short sessions, around five to ten minutes, and gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable. Regular practice is key, so try to meditate at the same time each day to establish a routine[3][4][6].
