Answers:
I can recommend you a book. It is called "Getting in the Gap" by Dr. Wayne Dyer. It is a short book and it includes a CD. You can find it at your local Borders or bookstore in the self-help or spirituality section. It tells you about meditation and teaches you a method called Japa. It is great for meditating, but to warn you it is a little bit faith-based.like it talks about God and stuff, but it is non-specific to any branch of religion (so its not christian, muslim, jewish themed, etc. it just general refers to God and "source" in a spiritual sense.) I use the CD almost everyday for the past couple weeks and I am already seeing a difference in the peace and contentment in my daily life, also feel more spiritual.
Another CD I'd recommend is simply the sound of rain, and can be found at www.awakenedminds.com and is called "insight". Beneath the sound of the rain are beats and sound waves that you can't audibly hear. There is no subliminal messages- don't worry. These sound frequencies help you to go into a deeper meditative state more quickly.
Good Luck!

first of all a place where is really quiet and dark preferable or with some candles. and just close your eyes and pray whoever you want to pray to. Incense sticks also help alot
I'm taking a seminar on heart rhythm meditation, and it's been a wonderful way to open up my heart and learn about myself.
Here's a site that has information about their seminars; some are online guided meditations if you aren't able to travel for this. I also enjoyed the book they mention, "Living From the Heart". It includes step by step instructions on this type of meditation.
Enjoy! :)
The whole aim of meditation is,
1. to calm your mind, and
2. to focus the mind on one thing.
The mind of a normal person is like an uncontrolled monkey jumping from one thought to another. To process all these thoughts a lot of body energy is used. Thus if your mind cease to process thoughts you will be saving a lot of body energy which can be used to cure a lot of ailments in your body. That is why a person who continues to meditate regularly even gets a nice body complexion.
Anapana or concentration on the breath is the best form of meditation.
If you sit down and close your eyes you will notice that your mind is jumping from one thought to another. Even though you want to concentrate on your breath you will find other thoughts also coming in between.
In learning to meditate you must first learn to calm your mind. You do this by following every thought that comes into you mind. You must be like a Manager of a Hotel who stands at the entrance and observes the customers coming in. Without getting attached to the thoughts try to observe them. You will find that a thought comes in and that it goes nowhere and another thought follows it - try following that too - with same results. This way you will find that your thoughts gradually subside. Do not try to force out your thoughts.
Of course do not expect results in one or two days. Practise it for at least 40 minutes every day for at least 2 months you find that you have 'killed' your train of thoughts. I have practised for 1 1/2 years and still vagrant thoughts come in.
Thereafter start concentrating on your breath. Notice the breath coming in and going out. You should not concentrate only on the tip of your nose. Notice the breath coming in and thereafter your lungs getting filled and then gradually exhaling the breath. If you keep on doing it you will get into a deep state.
After you finish that for the day start to think of a person or several persons whom you hate most. Having those people in mind start to think in a compassionate manner "may he be healthy, may he be happy, may he go up in life, may he live long". Keep on doing this for about 10 minutes a day for a few months you will find that you do not get angry even when you have to get angry.
