Ammit, in the meditation traditions they call meditation a "practice". I'd like to suggest that you don't really need more instructions than what's already in this thread for you to begin with. But I'm happy to give you more in a week's time if you need it. I'd prefer to answer your questions, though, instead of "telling you". (You can also PM me if you prefer that. There's also plenty of good stuff in some of the other spirituality threads that have been archived.)

The reason I say you need to practice is partly because everybody has a huge amount of subconscious stuff going on in their mind that will want to resist doing meditation. You just have to find the discipline in yourself to make yourself do some meditation every day. It takes about three or four weeks to train yourself into acquiring a good habit like this. So for that long, I suggest you need to make sure you do it daily, no matter what. Otherwise, more info won't be of any real help.

Also, learning meditation is kind of like learning to drive, or learning how to massage. You didn't get your driver's licence by studying the car's design manual, but by actually getting in the driver's seat and driving.
