I close my eyes and see a vertical line between them. Stay focused on that line--it's the only thing that exists no matter what else is happening--and sooner or later, hello, sweet Lord!

Have you ever had any success with those 3-D pictures of patterns that if you stare long enough at them, an underlying form emerges? It's kind of like that in the beginning. https://www.aolej.com/easy-stereograms-for-begi...

Hi, Jim mediation is a great tool. It helps you calm and relax your whole body down when you are anxious and stressed out. It is good therapy. I put it in the schedule every day. An it a refreshing to have a good day. I may do it twice to calm myself down. Hugs

At first I leaned with guided meditations on free phone apps. I like Insight Timer and a long time ago, used Calm.

I learned to do quiet meditations by setting a timer with calm soft music and bells (on insight timer - free - ) and I listen to the flow of my breath as I breath in, pausing to notice the still point at the bottom of my lungs before breathing out, and at the top of my lungs before breathing in, and so forth.

Also, there are youtube tutorials and people who “meditate with you,” for like 20 mins with. gentle guidance. I search under “transcendence meditation.”

Good luck!

I have the same question. There are times I start meditating while following a video and all of a sudden I am thinking of all sorts of different things.
