How do I begin, if I have never sat before?

Sit down for five minutes, and you have already begun. Choose a chair or a cushion, the same place each day. Keep your back upright, hands resting in your lap, eyes lowered and half open. Breathe through your nose and count each exhale, one to ten, then start again. You will lose count. Everyone does. Coming back is the practice. Tomorrow, before your coffee, set a timer for five minutes and start at one.
