How to meditate

I found this wonderful article on "How to Meditate" by Joan Borysenko on her site.

This is an exerpt from her book "Minding the body, Mending the Mind".

The steps are as follows@

1. Choose a quiet spot
2. Sit in a comfortable and balanced position
3. Close your Eyes
4. Relax your muscles sequentially from head to foot
5. Stay aware of your breathing
6. Repeat your focus word silently synchronised to your breathing
7. Don't worry how you are doing
8. Repeat for 10-20 minutes daily

Suggestions for a focus word could be "clarity"
