I lead a weekly circle in Barcelona built around exactly this: breath awareness, a body scan, then gratitude and journaling. I've watched it work — someone five days out of the hospital saying out loud what they were grateful for, someone opening up about something they hadn't told anyone in a month, just because there was enough quiet to hear themselves. Guided imagery and mantra meditation are the tools I trust most, because they don't ask you to empty your mind, they give it somewhere specific to go. My own practice still drops off some weeks and comes back, and I teach from that, not from having it all figured out.
