breath prayer
Breath prayer is a lot like Centering Prayer.
The only difference is that your focus is on your breathing, as opposed
to a word. This is probably what most people think of when they think of
meditation.

Sit with your back straight enough that your breathing is comfortable — on a
chair or a cushion on the floor — and set a timer for however many minutes you
want to meditate. Once you start the timer, close your eyes, relax, and don't
move except to breathe, until the timer goes off. Focus on your breath going in
and out. Every time you have a thought or an urge, notice it and bring yourself
back to your breath.
That's it. Simple but challenging. Try it — today — for five minutes. And
then try it again tomorrow.
