Hi white_wolf,

Goofaholix has given a good advice. Be patient. Keep practicing. The mind that has never meditated lives in wilderness, entangled. It is not easy to tame it.

Try not to have a fix schedule when you start to meditate if you meditate at home. Try to sit at different times and as spontaneously as possible and chose different rooms until you start to feel the need of meditation.

I changed from Zazen to Anapanasati. Sometimes I do zazen and others Anapanasati. Anapanasati has detailed stages. It has several tetrads, so try just to practice the first one and do not get too exited about having achievements.

Here is some information about Anapanasati that can be of some help:

Anapanasati Sutta

Anapanasati: Mindfulness with Breathing

Now is the Knowing

Now is the Knowing-Pdf.
