Can I get some advice for meditating?

Whenever I try to meditate, I fall asleep. Either that or I just get frustrated and give up. I've also tried the relaxing position in Yoga where i guess you lay down and relax every muscle starting with your face and working down to your toes. That has also put me to sleep. Can anyone help? I really need to learn, because I think negatively too much, and I need to learn not to. Please Help?

What is it you want to accomplish? There are many forms of meditation.

Try doing your meditation in a sitting position, either in a chair with both feet on the floor and your palms turned face up in your lap, or cross legged on the floor, with your palms face up on your knees.

Breath in to the count of 7, hold 1 sec, breath out for the count of 7. Do this until you start to feel relaxed and let go of all your worries. Picture negative energy going out of your body with each breath out, and positive white light going into your body with each breath in.

Now for what you want to accomplish with your meditation?

If you want to change your life, you change your subconscious. Meditate at the end of the day. Go thru your day and the events that happened. Is there anything you are not happy with? Erase the event in your mind, do this several times, then re-create the event the way you WISHED it would have happened. See yourself reacting, saying, doing, what you wish you had done. By doing a daily review, you will program your mind to act differently if the situation ever comes up again. You should do this nightly for 30 days to start, and you will begin to feel more confident and positive.

Good luck!
