1. find quiet place (or if you are good at blocking out the world it doesnt have to be quiet)
2. focus attention and all senses on one specific thing, such as the feeling of the breath as you inhale and exhale, or any other sense. Sense it on a shallow sensory input level, and don't think about anything.
3. maintain focus
4. maintain focus
5. profit
just do it for however long you feel comfortable. even 1 minute can be highly beneficial. You dont have to sit like a pretzel or anything. It's just about focusing the attention of all your senses, clearing your thoughts, and maintaining that state for awhile.
It helps a lot with any kind of anxiety.
