Default Re: How to Meditate.

there are a few techniques for dealing with sleepiness. off the top of my head i can think of imagining the color red and thinking of something that makes you angry. i know there is a certain visualization that works but i don't remember it.

Can you go a full 20 minutes without thoughts arising?

you don't want to try to suppress your thoughts. they're going to come. when thoughts come you should recognize them but don't give them any energy and just let them go on their way, back to where they came from. the main thing is just to stay aware of everything.
