Basic Meditation Structure

This varies widely. If you find something that helps you quiet and balance yourself, then do it and do it fairly regularly. As often as possible, do it outside. As you get more comfortable, sit under a tree and do your meditations. Or, focus your meditations on the qualities of Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
Use the above ritual structure, then sit in the sacred space and meditate.
It is ok to ask the spirits, gods, even the trees, for help and guidance. Nature has the answers if you take the time (and have the patience) to listen.
