When you first start, set your timer for five minutes. 

If you can sit on the floor, have blankets or a cushion to sit on. 

You may want to do a little warm-up yoga sequence before sitting, especially if you are going to meditate first thing in the morning. 

You can try any position you have seen, but you can also just place your hands in your lap or place the hands on your knees with the palms up or down. Find a position that is comfortable for you.

Meditation is being attentive to the fluctuations of your mind. 

It should be away from household distractions. A corner of your bedroom or living room is perfect. 

When your timer sounds, open your eyes. 

Make sure you pick a time when you can consistently devote yourself to this practice. It doesn't have to be lengthy. Ten or fifteen minutes is a good place to start.
