It's easier than you think. In fact, you probably do it already without knowing it. Meditation is not spacing out while you chant repetitively. It's not losing touch with reality, nor is it losing control. It is not hearing voices or having an invisible force tell you how to live your life.
Meditation is about mindful relaxation.
During this period of time you will learn to calm your mind in a way that leads to a deep personal connection that might be called spiritual. It requires you to give yourself the gift of time. You begin by claiming 20-30 minutes of your day, no matter how busy, for yourself. That move alone begins the process of better self-care. You take this time as if it were a package.
