I am not sure what exactly the technique is called, I just followed a guide. You close your eyes and focus entirely on the flow of air entering and leaving your body. Just concentrating on breathing.
Forgive me, I am pretty new to all this. I picked up meditation around August of last year.
I have done a bit of “concentrating on breathing” meditation.
There’s a lot to breathing. The sound of it. The thought of it (if I’m counting breaths). The feeling of it, in my belly, throat and nose…
I find all those things to be too much to concentrate on. So I concentrate on just one of those things. I concentrate on the feeling of breath in the tip of my nose.
I don’t think it matters why you meditate.
Meditation helps me with stress too. And use it for other less than elevated reasons too.
What technique do you like?

It felt super silly the first time too. I’m glad I started doing this.
