I cannot meditate. The trouble is I do not know what to focus on. I am told the breathe but I feel uncomfortable with this. Can anyone suggest what to concentrate on. Or any decent websites? Many thanks

Have you done or considered doing a meditation course? – I have just started one and have found it brilliant. Such courses take you through the various types of meditation and explain how to do it. I could never achieve the same from a book. One meditation we do involves concentrating on various parts of the body. Starting with the weight of ourselves on the floor and then concentrating on the feelings in our toes and so on. . . until we get to our heads. Another involves studying an object.
I’d recommend looking for a local Buddhist or meditation centre either via a search engine or yellow pages. It is also much easier to learn it in a group as you get support and find you’re not alone in finding it quite difficult. I am sure that they would be able to offer you alternatives to breathing.

focus on a object & clear your mind, concentrate on a particular object which ever u like & love . ofcourse not on
any bad/ugly object. say u love /respect ur parent,then think deeply for them with ur closed eye. if u can control ur mind,then u can meditate well, medition and control of mind go hand in hand. best way of medition is to concentrate of ur mind on GOD/lord/allah.don’t bother for
breathing , it will be correctected automatically.god bless u.

One thing to concentrate on is your breathing or an image of balance. Some examples of an image of balance would a pair of glasses.

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.

then read some more about this method on the same website or at:
http://www.sahajayoga.org.in/SYIntro.asp
and if u get interested, here’s how to find a centre if u want to take a course, which would be the best (they are usually free, too):
