Sure I've meditated for over 4 years now, and find the easiest time to do is when you lie down to sleep. If you think of your mind like a flipbook, and every thought is a page on the book, when you begin it can feel like you are flipping through the book very fast. Try to concentrate and observe something in your body (many people focus on breathe, or the forehead, I find the heartbeat to be easier). The flipbook thoughts will keep drawing your attention so you must keep trying to bring your focus back to your body when you realise you were distracted. Eventually the flipping slows down more and more, until you begin to occupy the gap between your thoughts. This is a place you are not even aware of until you come out of it. If you can imagine a place with no thought, it can be quite peaceful!
