Sit up in a comfortable position

Take a few deep, slow breaths and concentrate on the sensation of air passing through your nostrils

Count "one" on the ‘in-breath’ and "two" on the ‘out-breath’ all the way to "10" and then start again at "one".

When you find your thoughts wandering, just start again at "one". A useful way to notice that your mind has wandered is when you say "eleven" – that’s your sign to tell you that you have passed "ten" because you were thinking about something else.

When your mind wanders (and it WILL wander), just bring it back to "one" and don't get frustrated. This is the number one mistake that beginners make. They think that the purpose of meditation is to completely stop thinking. This is impossible and is not the goal of meditation. The act of realizing your mind has wandered and then bringing it back to your breath - that is meditation.

If you do this prior to bed, after a little while you will struggle to stay awake, so just lay down and enjoy the relaxed feeling. You will soon drop off to sleep.
