<human>:  How do I meditate properly?
<bot>: The best way to meditate properly is to begin by finding a comfortable, quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Sit in a comfortable posture, close your eyes and begin to focus your attention on your breath. Take deep, slow breaths and focus on the sensations of the breath in your body. Let your thoughts come and if they become overwhelming, simply accept what they are and gently refocus your attention back to your breath. Stay in the present moment and be mindful of the sensations, thoughts and feelings. Spend a few minutes each day in meditation and gradually increase the amount of time as your practice grows.
