Here, I'll give it to you:
>Sit or lie down. I prefer sitting since it's easier to concentrate and not doze off.
>Scan you body. Start with your toes or what ever you feel like.
>Notice sensations like pain, warmth, tingling in your hands or what ever.
>Try to accept what ever sensation your feel without judgement. Let the sensation of one body part go when you move to a new one.
>Now your body is hopefully relaxed enough to go to the next step:
>Focus your full awareness on your breath. Do not breath mechanically, try to zoom out and watch your breath.
>Thoughts will disturb you. Am I doing it right? What should I eat tonight? When your start thinking, gently turn your awareness back to your breath.
>Think of your brain like a puppy, when it starts to run around and tug at your sleeve you tell it to sit. By time, your dog-mind will learn how to sit.
>When you reach a moment of clarity and you think to yourself "wow, this is amazing", let that thought go too because that will snap you ot of your meditative state.

This is not the end of it all but this is what I did when I first started meditating.
There's no need to be too strict in the beginning, you can count your breaths if you want too.
Good luck, Anon!
