Hi Fee,

I'm not sure why you are sitting in the dark to meditate! I think its important to be as relaxed as possible when meditating, and not have too many expectations.

When I first began meditating and noticed that my mind was wandering away from the breath , I found it helpful to say mentally "thinking" and bring my awareness gently back with the breath again.


you will find a thread on meditation in our Study Links forum

I recommend that you watch the Ajahn Jayasaro Buddhist meditation video series which is linked in the thread.

with kind wishes,

Aloka
