This being BuzzFeed, I paste the best part so you can avoid the filler:

Sit up straight.

4. Avoid crossing your arms and lay both of your palms face up on your legs. You’re now ready to get into your mediation.

Now close your eyes, and you’re ready to get into your meditation.

5. Start by breathing slowly and deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth. Then picture having a cord connected to your tailbone that goes all the way to the center of the Earth.

Uh... picture having a tail that goes all the way to the center of the earth!??!?! Like a lemur?

I think I need a drink now :(

It's just a visualization to focus on to get you out of your own mind.
