Meditation panels...and more to come

...well, I am  not sure this one is a good idea, much too sensual and it throws off the mind. The idea is to develop a peaceful, calm condition, gradually relieving your mind of all but the basic concentration on peace, quiet, tranquility, without any disturbing interference of noise, TV,  and other useless un needed  thinking.
If you can't get something out of your mind, if this keeps creeping back into your head, try this.
How important is this...whatever is bugging me,is there anything I can or should do about it right now or can it wait? If suddenly an unpaid urgent bill comes to mind, make a note of it and decide to deal with it..say, first thing in the morning. Whatever enters your head and prevents you from getting into a quiet meditation mode,do whatever you can to swiftly and decidedly deal with it in some way,to the point that you can return to your meditative mode without any further disturbance from things that enter your mind.
Try to put yourself in a relaxed position. If sitting cross legged yogi style works for you, great. If not, sit in an erect position in a comfortable chair, lights dimmed and clear your mind.
That's a great start. Breathe rhythmically...in- out...through bothy nostrils, mouth closed.
