I think that is a good way to begin, certainly. Finding books on the subject - ideally ones written quite some time ago - and then meeting others is also a good way to point the way into an effective practice. Eventually, you'll want to establish a time of day (i.e. morning) and ensure there is nothing else to do. I'm happy to converse more on the subject, and am new to Steemit, so it would be a pleasure to connect with people interested in the subject of meditation. #meditatedaily :)
