befor one can observe on the inside one must first concentrate on the outside and this is what the previous posters have been elaborated on. when there is no disturbance from the body one may look to the mind.

A very easy but effective way to meditate is to mentally recite raa ma--which is the "rah" syllable twice as long as the "mah" syllable. Do it simply in a very relaxed and effortless manner. Don't use forceful concentration. Just gently return to the mantra whenever you notice you are distracted. Do it at one to two times a day for 15 minutes. A good set of instructions is here: http://aypsite.com/MainDirectory.html That site recomments the mantra ayam which sounds like "I am". I prefer to use raa ma. Using raa ma clears the body's energy channels, especially the solar plexus center, according to Vedic tradition. I once mentally recited raa ma for an hour just to see what would happen. After about 45 minutes I actually did feel a soft vibration in my solar plexus. Anyway, all the physical and mental health benefits of Transcendental Meditation apply to this way of meditating. I used the ayam mantra a year before switching to raa ma which I've used for 2 years now. An interesting side effect is that i'
ve become more intuitive and can sense other people's thoughts verbatim sometimes.
There is a form of meditation where you walk.
Meditation does not always have to be in a sitting position or lying down.
