Meditation

Do you meditate? Has it helped you?

It has been suggested to me that I do so due to chronic anxiety, but sometimes I find it difficult to turn my brain down even for a five minute session. I keep being told to relax and clear my head. Well, if I could relax and clear my head I wouldn't need to meditate!

They say it has a cumulative effect, that the benefits are subtle and come on slowly over weeks and months. I don't understand how this works. Is it a matter of practicing? Retraining your brain?

Also, I have been using youtube videos, but it's hard to find one that doesn't get obtrusive at some point. The last one I tried went well until the narrator said "now shepherd your attention from your feet...." Excuse me? Shepherd my attention? It totally took me out of it.

Should I even be using youtube videos? Is there a better alternative? Can't I just sit in the dark and close my eyes, maybe with some relaxing music playing? Or do I need to get the hang of it first?

Thanks. My replies here may be spotty for a few days as I'm having internet problems. More reason to be anxious!
