If ever there was a place to start with words, it would be in the attentiveness to the sounds of your breath. Slow breath in, slow breath out. Here's an ancient mantra from the Sikh scripture Guru Granth Sahib which consists of two words: ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ (sat nam)
Listen carefully to your breath:
On inhale you hear 'sat' - everlasting
On exhale you hear 'nam' - name
Let the two simple words vibrate fully in your imagination. Calm shall embrace you.
