Studied for a week with John Kabat-Zinn in CA (changed my life) ... and that got me started. I had to go for work, and was highly skeptical (a Midwesterner) but became a believer. I recommend his book "Full Catastrophe Living" for a blueprint. Continue to meditate at home and online with the community at the Insight Meditation Center in Woodacre, CA, where I traveled yearly until Covid, now virtually online. I can't keep it going without regular attendance with others, not that disciplined. I'm still a beginner, so much to learn; good luck with it.
