3: Pay attention to your body.
Now sit in a position you are comfortable with. You can sit on a chair and on your kneel, whatever feels comfortable to you.
4: Feel your breath
Now you have to pay attention to your breath. Breath normally and notice how it is going in and out.

After some time, you will see that your mind is not focusing on breathing, but it’s paying attention to other things. You have to focus on your breath again.
6: Don’t put pressure on your mind.
When your mind pays attention to another thing, don’t pressure it to return on the breath. Just do it.

Now, if your eyes are closed, open them and breathe slowly. Pay attention to environmental sound. Feel how your body is feeling. Notice what are you thinking and your emotion. You can also turn on mediation music while meditating.
And that’s how it’s done. Do it with kindness. No hurry, no pressure. Repeat the process for as much time as you want. We will suggest you do it for 15 minutes.

How to do meditation for beginners?
We will suggest you do body scan mediation if you are starting. In this meditation, you have to notice every part of the body. Pay attention from head to toe, and feel the sensation of the body.
You must notice every part of your body, like which part is relaxing, tense, comfortable or uncomfortable. You have to notice what your body is feeling without taking any stress.
This is the guided mediation for beginners. It helps you get rid of stress. Want to try? Close your eyes, bring the focus to the head, and start scanning the body.
Take only 20 seconds for each body part. Start from eyebrows to neck to shoulder to toes. If you get distracted by any thought, just let it go and start again with the part you left on. After the toes part, open the eyes, and you are done.
