You might want to check out qigong or wim hof breathing and meditation. It would be amazing to find a group class for learning qigong. I have always lived to far away from any classes. Even if you just commit to a few months of practice to sea how you feel and learn from it ... It is probably one of the best energy works available. Also, it is fantastic for elderly in your life because you are using your brain to visualize plus having to learn body movements. A great brain workout.

Or you could try the wim hof breathing. I had never been able to go into real meditation until I used the hyper-oxygenation breathing which also raised the dmt levels. From the breathing and holds I immediately threw myself into a meditation. It started working really well and after a few months of doing practice, I could easily meditate for 3 hours. It was a really good feeling and experience. I hated to come out but unfortunately I was around a controlling and paranoid guy so I had to sneak in my spiritual and energy practices into early morning etc.
