I wasn't sure where to put this so i figured I'd start here.

My question is simple. There are times when I'm in bed and I just want to block everything from my mind. How do I do that? I try to imagine a dot in my mind and just keep focus on it. No go.

I imagine smooth waves moving across. Still no go.

I'd like to get to the point where I can sit somewhere either at home or a park and just feel like i can escape (even if for just a few minutes). I'd read amount mindfulness but i can't seem to help move my thoughts from focus.

I'm really open to any suggestions that you may have.
