Quieten Your Mind Through Stillness.

Sit somewhere and take a very deep breathe. Close your eyes and feel every part of your body as it makes contact with the world.

Focus on breathing, do not control it, just notice it. In. Out. When your mind wanders, and it will, repeatedly, that's not a failure. Just notice where it went and come back to the breath. That noticing and returning is the practice, not a distraction from it.

There's no state to achieve. A session where your mind wandered forty times isn't worse than one where it wandered twice. Begin when ready, and let the bell tell you when to stop.
