Answer
Hi Neme,
Thanks for your interest in meditation.Sorry for being late.
Here is my recommendation.
Switch-off the cell phone, keep away all your gadgets, and excuse yourselves from spouse, children and other family members. Sit straight wherever you want and take THREE deep breaths. Let your belly be full of breath when you inhale and empty the belly when you exhale. Return to normal breathing; now watch the breath for a minute. Just witness your incoming breath and out going breath, see what is happening when you breathe. This technique is to create just one thought which the thought of your breath. Even if there are thoughts about persons or places jut ignore the thoughts.Because mind is very cunning,it will inject one thought and we will create a chain of thoughts by having one thought, so be prepared. Increase the duration by a minute each day and see how long you can sit by yourselves without creating thoughts. Do not expect something to happen or even if something happens just witness it, do not judge or arrive at a conclusion on any experience or do not try to get same experience each day, just watch the breath.
Update me on the progess.
Let you get the concentration from within to meditate.
Regards,
Vinod Pai
