I tend to use headspace. It’s just my personal preference since it is free for a year or two if you are a university student. I prefer to do a 20 min session but feel free to do a smaller session in headspace you can usually choose between 10,15, and 20 min sessions. I try to meditate everyday right before bed (after reading). I will get comfortable and turn off the lights so that I am in complete darkness, then I will launch headspace. A book you might want to check out on meditation is called “Wherever you go there you are” by Jon Kabat-zinn. He likes to focus of on meditation for everyone and not just as a kind of spiritualism. Hopefully this helps you get started!

When I started I used to do 10 minutes guided meditation on you tube with earplugs in my kids were a bit older so I would tell them to try and leave me for 10 mins and gradually built up, or sometimes I'd do 2 or 3 throughout the day. Focusing on your breathing helps if your mind wanders. I'd also use incense or a nice smelling candle in the beginning. Some guided meditations tell you to sit down straight or maybe legs crossed that's the only part I've never followed I usually lie down I dont think it makes a difference really just whatever feels most comfortable to each individual. You can find a guided meditation for almost anything from positive energy to self love or confidence, letting something go, connect with your higher self,cleanse your chakras just about anything you want to change.
