Hi…
A friend of mine has a free booklet (the whole website is non-commercial - everything is for free) on how to do a stress release exercise and also has a support group in yahoogroups for questions and answers. He has around 50 years practise in meditation and thus is a great resource for anybody. I put in the source field below the link to the free booklet.

The whole aim of meditation is,
1. to calm your mind, and
2. to focus the mind on one thing.

If you sit down and close your eyes you will notice that your mind is jumping from one thought to another. Even though you want to concentrate on your breath you will find other thoughts also coming in between.

In learning to meditate you must first learn to calm your mind. You do this by following every thought that comes into you mind. You must be like a Manager of a Hotel who stands at the entrance and observes the customers coming in. Without getting attached to the thoughts try to observe them. You will find that a thought comes in and that it goes nowhere and another thought follows it - try following that too - with same results. This way you will find that your thoughts gradually subside.

Of course do not expect results in one or two days. Practise it for at least 40 minutes every day for at least 2 months you find that you have ‘killed’ your train of thoughts. I have practised for 1 1/2 years but still vagrant thoughts come in. The whole idea is to silence the mind.

Thereafter start concentrating on your breath. Notice the breath coming in and going out. You should not concentrate only on the tip of your nose. Notice the breath coming in and thereafter your lungs getting filled and then gradually exhaling the breath.

You should be able to get some guidance from the following sites,

1.
2. and click on the free articles on yoga meditation - it includes articles on all types of meditations including christian and muslim meditation.

Get a good meditation CD, one that does guided meditation. as your body gets use to it, you can stop using the cd. Also try to focus on a candle flame, that has worked for me in the past

Be careful. You are playing with fire. Arthur Connan Doyle, a avid psychic investigator, once said, “The mind is a machine driven by a ghost. If you don’t drive it, someone else will.”

meditation is different for everyone. if you can’t go a half an hour, then it’s okay. the fact that you are meditating and that you find it relaxing and spiritual is good, but if you really want it to last longer, try some different things each time. you don’t have to do the pose that is normally associated with meditating, just be comfortable while doing this. you can try atmosphere like background music(celtic, or just soundscapes), or try candles. just make this time your time and make it interesting and relaxing.

I have about a dozen different Cd’s (instrumental, no vocals) that I’ll put on softly in the background while I am meditating. Try to time your breathing to the music. It is hard at first, but keep up with it. It pays dividends in the long run. You will find yourself better rested, calmer, sharper, and more in control. Good luck!

The way I learned how to meditate was through Vinyasa Yoga. Not only does it strengthen the body, but it also helps increase focus and endurance. It worked for me, so it’s possible it could work for you as well.

I bought DVD’s, based on the Yoga teachings of a guy named Baron Baptiste… he sounds like he’s probably fruitier than a bowl of cherries, but he knows what he’s talking about. I’ll list his site below.

Comment on How can i develope good posture for meditation? by M

it hurts simply cos the back must be straight. pressure is put on your lower spine when u bend it in that way.

start with sitting on a chair.

or in yoga it says u can start with normal cross legged position ot do the half lotus pose to begin with. as u get more supple u can progress to the lotus. i havent acheived the lotus yet but it takes a long time. when done properly ur back will be straight.
