Answers:

It depends on what type of meditation you want to learn. I have really liked the Tibetan/Western Buddhist hybrid approach (see The Wisdom of No Escape by Pema Chodron, or The Myth of Freedom and the Way of Meditation by Chogyam Trungpa).

If you like that approach, you can look for a center near you for one on one instruction. Here is a link: http://www.shambhala.org/centers/

If you like the Zen approach (see Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki), you could try a google search on your local Zen center. You can also contact a major zen center (they do not mind helping, it's their practice, after all!) and ask for a reference. Here is a link to a wonderful retreat center with people to help: http://www.smzc.net/pages/home.html

If you like the Theravadin/Thai Vipassanna approach (see Jack Kornfield's A Path with Heart), you might try calling his center in SF for a reference to a local teacher where you are. Here is that link: http://www.spiritrock.org/

If you're in Europe, and the Tibetan approach isn't calling, Thic Nhat Hanh has a center called Plum Village around a united Buddhism. (See Peace is Every Step by Thic Nhat Hanh.) You can contact them for more info: http://www.plumvillage.org/

Namaste.



Go to youtube and put "meditation", or even "Pranayama meditation" in the search bar, or google the same and narrow your search results to "videos" if you want to look at videos that might not be on youtube (ehow, for example). These will be great because someone will be guiding you through the process visually and vocally.

I think it would be best for you to search through these on your own, since you will find an instructor that is most comfortable for you.

Good luck!
