How can I meditate in order to help calm my mind and spirit?
One way to meditate is by focusing on your breath. Sit comfortably, either cross-legged or in a chair, with your spine straight. Close your eyes and focus on the sensation of your breath moving in and out of your body. Allow yourself to be aware of each inhale and exhale without trying to change it. Notice any thoughts that come into your head but don’t attach to them. Let go of any judgments you may have about these thoughts and just observe them as they pass through your mind. Continue to practice this for at least 5 minutes. You may find that after some time your mind will become calmer and more focused.
