There are many diffe: . Spend 20 minutes in a quiet area where you are likely to be undisturbed. If lunch time works for you or any other time during the day that is fine. Using a focus on your breath, a favorite mantra(word or sound) or anything that you are comfortable with is a good start. When thoughts come up, gently return to your breath, mantra or your desired area of focus.
