My wife takes Yoga Journal magazine and here is a brief abstract of an article about mediation that we found useful.
First, sit comfortably in an upright but relaxed position. Close your eyes and bring your attention to your nostrils. As you breathe notice the subtle sensation of cool air passing out of, your nose. Maintain your attention to every breath. Stay relaxed but alert. If your mind runs away then simple return to your breath. You can notice the distraction and patiently return to the sensation of breathing. Your ability to stay present deepens by consistently returning to the current moment.
Do this exercise 10 minutes once or twice a day. You can gradually extend your sessions to 20 or 30 minutes each.
Mediation complements your overall physical and mental health.
Enjoy the sensation.
