Whenever I try to meditate I have trouble. I have looked at a ton of advice and find that some times I simply can not do anything but sit there and fidget. Are there certain conditions that you feel hinder meditation?

Thank you. That is very good advise. I will try it out right away.

The one method I have been successful with is inward observance. I simply observe my emotions as they emerge and pass. This has helped me a great deal in my daily life as I see the truth of myself and a situation more clearly. Ironically when I sit down and try to do that kind of deep meditation I falter as I said before.

Welcome, walker of dreams.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself and give some minor background. I've spent most of my life without any guidance or reflection. Within the last few years I have been studying Zen Buddhism and the Tao. I am glad to have found a place like this where I could discuss the Tao with people and learn.
