One piece of advice, sort of a shot in the dark but aimed at addressing a common failure mode. If you were trying to force yourself to meditate while sitting in an uncomfortable position or for excessive lengths of time, don’t do that. All you’re doing is training yourself to be pissed off and tense about meditating. Try just sitting comfortably in a chair and focusing on your breath for ten minutes, or even just five minutes at first if it’s really that arduous.
I agree. Just be sure that you sit in a stable position.
I personally can sit comfortably in lotus. It’s a learned skill but it’s not something you need to learn to be able to meditate and if you focus on it at the beginning you focus on the wrong thing.
