Feel the little things like how the air is coming in and out of the nostrils and how your body is moving during this time. Your mind will wander, which is very normal, but when it does, focus it back on your breathing. In the case of meditation, keep the breath at the fore, while your thoughts move in the background.

Focused Meditation
Focused Meditation or Focused Attention Meditation is an advanced meditation technique that helps us to come out of depression.

We keep focusing ourselves on only one place and that is somehow taking ourselves to a state devoid of thoughts.
