Breath counting: One to ten, then again
Count each out-breath from one to ten, then start over. Lost count? Go back to one. The simplest meditation there is.
A classic Zen practice and the perfect place to start. Sit upright, breathe naturally, and silently count each exhale: one, two, three, up to ten. Then begin again at one.
When you lose count (you will), just start over at one, without scolding yourself. That's the practice working.

Do three rounds of counting to ten before you get out of bed tomorrow.
Meditation and breathwork are safe and helpful for most people, but not medical treatment. If a practice brings up distress, stop and ground yourself. People with a history of trauma, dissociation or psychosis may do best practicing with guidance from a qualified professional.
