Passive Meditation
*Find a place where you aren't going to be disturbed and sit or lie comfortably.
*You can put on some soothing music low in the background, and dim the lights.
*Choose an image to focus on within your mind- the key is to choose a mental picture and not a physical one. What might your choose as your image? Maybe a star, or a cloud, or even a flame. You might choose your favorite plant or flower- or the image of a famous person. Whatever you decide on, it should be something pleasant to look at, and an image that you can hold for a long period of time.
*As you picture that stationary image you'll slowly slip into an alpha state. This is meditation, and what you do from here depends on your own decision-making.
