<human>:  How do I get started with meditation?
<bot>: To get started with meditation, begin by finding a comfortable and quiet place to sit. Close your eyes, take several deep breaths and relax your body. Focus on your breath as you inhale and exhale, and let go of any distracting thoughts that come up for you. Try to remain mindful of the present moment as much as you can during your meditation practice. Allow yourself to be gentle with yourself and don't worry about trying to get it 'right.' As you become more comfortable with meditation, you can experiment with different techniques and find the one that best fits your needs.
