I wanted to post again because I have been giving the main point of nickname's thread some further thought.

This can get you started in the meditation practice,

And I also can point you towards a book on meditation,
http://www.amazon.com/The-Mind-Illum.../dp/0990847705

I also agree with DechanDawa about seeking proper meditation guidance, but don't think that you have to wait until your instructed, you can get a head start now.


I had something much longer here, but I think it was wiser to get you more interested in the idea of meditation.

I think that once you get underway with meditating you will not feel that the whole thinking thing is not so automatic.

Try to expect nothing, this will not be an over night transformation. I suggest try moving in feet rather than miles, you might even prefer moving in inches.
