Like I know people sit still and quiet for a while, but what exactly are they thinking or doing?

For me, nothing, as much as possible.
When I meditate, I begin by visualizing my “happy place,” Nu’uanu Pali in Hawaii. It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen and I was as happy there as I’ve ever been, before or since I try to see everything just the way I saw it during my first trip down to the smallest detail. I remember the sounds and how the air smelled and felt. Once that’s set in my mind, I do paired muscle relaxation and paced breathing exercises.
Once I’m totally relaxed, I focus on my breathing until my mind is clear and I’m not really thinking about anything. Thoughts sometimes come up but I shut them down and go back to focusing on my breathing.
