The lady i've been seeing (for Reiki and hypotherapy) wants me to meditate every day. To start with only five minutes. But i'm finding that i'm really struggling.

I've tried sitting up (uncomfy), lying down (fall asleep!) but mostly I find that I can't concentrate on just one thing.

She said to try and concentrate on breathing so i've been doing that, counting in and counting out, then I realise i'm thinking of something else and I can't let go of concious thought.

She said it may be hard at the beginning and to stick with it which I will but I was wondering if anybody had any tips?

Do oyou find it easier in silence or with music? Sitting or lying? I know that everyone is different but I was hoping for some tips!

TIA x
