Youtube guided meditation to start. begin with shorter ones and move on to longer ones once you get used to it. one of my favs is bob proctors abundance meditation.

 

Journey of awakening
Book by Ram Dass

Please read this book. It will begin you on your journey. I have done so and there are no words to describe what will happen once you read this post.

 

I downloaded the "Calm" meditation app a week ago and have been doing it every day, usually multiple times a day. Would highly recommend. It's free for the basic service, but I decided to pay the $33 yearly fee for the extra.

 

It's an improvised type of meditation the one I have been doing. Sometimes I do it when I am in nature and I can completely feel and be overwhelmed by the energy surrounding me. It can be a very surreal experience but rewarding. I have been doing it with closed eyes and by breathing deeply, sometimes with a mantra in my head. However, this morning it was in my humble adobe. The mantra was in another language but it still works, I believe.

 

An little ebook written by a Buddhist monk on how to meditate - http://static.sirimangalo.org/howto/HTM.pdf He also has some tutorial videos on his Youtube. If you want to read a more in dept book read The Power of Now by Tolle. The practice of presence he talks about in the book is a type of zen meditation, very good one.

 

Thats it!

 

I downloaded a pdf of the book for free online lol...

try bookzz.org or some off brand russian websites with ebook mirrors.

education and books should be free for mass consumption and our taxes should go to supporting the writers of these books.

But I'm not a commie.

 

If you want to try.. Some martial arts teaches meditation.
I am a member of Karate.

 

I usually start with only breathing, then I do some excersice and then at the end I sit down in a comfortable way, close my eyes and start to breate again. I focus on the respiratory movements and I go noticing body sensations and focusing on them to relax them, then some thoughts emerge and I make an effort to observe them not to argue or elaborate around, then some emotions emerge or negative feelings and I return to my body, where do i feel that? I ask, and start all over again and again, sometimes with music sometimes in silence

Like any practice I believe we just need to practice it everyday

 

Had the same "problem" and started a similar thread.
