    Do you happen to have a good source for learning these? I’ve looked into it in the past but everything I find about meditation and mindfulness is riddled with nonsense that doesn’t make any sense to me.

      Just a simple example I googled:

      • Sit in a quiet, comfortable place.
      • Set a short time limit if you’re a beginner (e.g., 5–10 minutes).
      • Focus on your breath and notice bodily sensations.
      • Gently return your focus to your breath when distractions occur.

      With body sensations, you can focus on the taste in your mouth for a minute, then switch to sounds you hear, how your fingertips feel etc. I usually close my eyes to better focus on each sensation. Just relax and gently observe what you experience right now.
