Babybird, 'You don't have to find comfortable chair' - the meaning changes when a comma is placed after the 'to'. As it is, its meaning is: you don't need to find a comfortable chair (in order to meditate). A comma after the 'to' changes the meaning to: You don't have to sit like that (ie crossed legged), find a comfortable chair instead to meditate, which is the meaning I suspect you meant to convey. Also, placing an 'a' after 'find' helps make it easier to understand. Sorry if you find this nitpicking; however, it's important to make your meaning clear.

Meditation and mindfulness are suggested to help a person clear the
Mind and achieve a sense of calm. These techniques are encouraged by an army of counsellers, psychologists and other therapists. And they do help. They have helped me deal with many scenarios in a sometimes difficult workplace.
