It realllly does work. I love love love meditating. My suggestion is to go out & buy a meditation cd, a “guided” one if you can find it – and as cheesy as the music may sound or the man/woman’s voice may sound..just close your eyes concentrate on your breathing (in through the nose, out through the mouth) and try not to focus on anything but your breathing. Your thoughts will wander for a while when you start meditating..but it gets easier and easier to focus the more you do it. When you are finished you feel revived & relaxed all at once. Good luck

One way is to try and remove all distractions
Concentrate on a single spot or object until that spot or object is the only thing in your mind, sight, etc. Now comes the hard part, get rid of that spot or object…you’re there

The first step to meditation is to have something to meditate about.. Take the Bible verse John 3:16 and meditate on it.
Definition: there are two different definitions and it depends on who is asking??
1. To reflect on; contemplate.
2. To plan in the mind; intend: meditated a visit to her daughter.
1. Buddhism & Hinduism. To train, calm, or empty the mind, often by achieving an altered state, as by focusing on a single object.

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. Do not try to force out your thoughts.
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 and still vagrant thoughts come in.
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. http://www.dhamma.org/vipassan.htm
2. http://www.meditationexpert.com/ and click on the free articles on yoga meditation – it includes articles on all types of meditations including christian and muslim meditation.
