My only tip is take a class. Find a meditation center near you. They are all over. Most have introductory classes over a few weeks or regular drop-in sessions with some guided meditation. I "meditated" regularly for years, or tried to, and hadn't a clue about what I was doing or what the point was or how to deal with feelings that came up. If you can't find something near you, listen to talks and guided meditations on line. Read something about Buddhism and the goals of meditation.
