Me thinks many people who go on and on about meditation are FOS!
Mumbo jumbo crap!
It's the road back to BS religion, superstition, old wives tales, wishful thinking, time wasting exercises with little benefits.
Just turn off the bloody TV PERMANENT, turn off all crap which brainwashes including chanting BS and just live your life uncomplicated without too much noise.
Any ritualistic mind programming which includes listening to pulput sermons, TV, chanting, gurus, etc, is dangerous imo.
Go to bed early and get a good night's sleep, the mind can then relax and unravel what ever issues you have.
That's my interpretation of getting the brain in good working order.
PS: Keep off drugs! Even too much coffee can alter your moods.
Moderation in everything.
Peace.

Quote from Brass:
Are you sure you weren't just daydreaming? Meditation requires prolonged and fairly singular mental focus, ideally free from distracting thoughts, which doesn't happen all that automatically for most of us.
Meditation isn't about being free from thoughts. You can't stop your thoughts, you can't stop thinking.
Mindfulness brings awareness to your compulsive, obsessive mind and the non-stop thinking. When you become aware, you can create space and learn not to identify and become attached to the thoughts. This will greatly reduce anxiety and stress.
If you are looking for a good free resource, "like" this Facebook page - they post a lot about mindfulness and meditation, but don't necessarily refer to it as such. They also sell a book that has a good meditation program in it.
