my mind darts and wanders all over. the most helpful tool has been to use guided meditations. i get recordings online for free, and they lead me through 30 minutes of all kinds of meditation. breathing, body scan, muscle relaxation, emotion releasing, and lovingkindness tapes are all very helpful to keep me on task.
the other great tool is the binaural recordings which have a background of sounds that go to right or left ear and have been shown to relax the mind. you need to use headphones for these.
it still requires lots of practice!
