There are also a few good web sites devoted to the topic, The main problem you might encounter is that among the few good sites there are a few sites specifically dedicated to lightening your wallet and furnishing you with little information in return.It is not essential, but it can often help if you choose a mantra as part of your meditation practise. A Mantra is a chant which helps you focus, concentrate and empty the mind.
Sit comfortably, gently close your eyes, take a deep breath in and allow your diapgragm (belly) to expand as you breath in and contract as you breath out. As you do this repeat your Mantra out loud. Continue doing this for a few minutes.
Continue mentally repeating your Mantra and try not to force your concentration on your Mantra. It should come easily and without effort. Soon your mind will become empty. To be really effective you should meditate twice a day, once in the morning before breakfast and in the afternoon before dinner.
Peace be with you - and happy meditation.
