Go to a peaceful place because so much noise will disturb you from doing meditation.It should be comfortable and clean.You can meditate by sitting on a pillow, a mat or a chair.It is good to meditate in a place where you can feel fresh air.You can do it especially in the morning.
2.Posture:
Sit in a straight and erect posture.Clasp your hands and cross your feet.Put your hands relaxed and rest your arms on your thighs.Instead of clasping hands,you can also touch your thumb with your index finger to make a circle with the palm facing up and the rest fingers extended.
3.Closed Eyes and be quiet:

Eyes are doors of the mind.They create pictures in minds that makes difficult to focus and meditate.This will continue to make thoughts in the form of pictures and distract you from building concentration.Stop making any sound and chanting mantras while meditating.
4.Focus on breath:
