The lead feature on Beliefnet tomorrow tonight will be “How to Meditate,” a basic gallery to help anyone sit down and hopefully calm down. Some of the tips include: watching your breath, sitting at the same time every day if possible, not sitting for too long, becoming aware of what your senses are experiencing in the moment (do you hear birds? a car alarm?), and being kind to yourself as your practice.

Check out the whole “How to Meditate” gallery here.

Our co-bloggists at Bnet’s One City blog posted yesterday that 1 in 11 Americans meditates, according to an article in yesterday’s USA Today. That’s huge! Do you have a meditation practice? What kind?
