Sit somewhere that people can't disturb you (I like to do it in the middle of public transports)
Imagine Vegeta powering up inside your mind
Chant "AAAAAAAAH" as if you're receiving the daily dose

I read a section of this, then sit cross legged, hands in a beautiful oval , with my back struggling to stay straight, mind trying to let everything that comes to it pass through it by keeping my awareness as wide as possible and trying to make space for anything else that could be added for fifteen minutes.
I have not been keeping up on the habit lately. It is probably time I resume.
Thank you for the image.

Start with trying TM for a while. You don't have to stick with it forever, but it will teach you to meditate and it has empirically demonstrable effects.

Benson's Relaxation Response is an attempt at scientifically determining what transcendental meditation is and how it works. You could also get into Acem, which is a non-sectarian approach to TM. You could also just go to a TM center but they charge money. Don't let that, or the fact that it's shilled by celebrities, discourage you. It does work. They didn't invent the method.

If you want a Christian form of it, John Douglas Main has a version.

If you are more interested in esoteric things, Massimo Scaligero has an interesting book, A Practical Manual of Meditation.

Audiovisual entrainment. Use a virtual dream machine (flicker strobe light) + online tone generator binaural. Usually 8-12hz left brain entrainment induces trance, or you can experiment with 16-20hz on the right side for concentration

sam harris is a faggot, don't listen to this anob. basically just sit or lay focus on some mental picture like a dice and try to ignore any other thoughts. You should start to feel light and happy after awhile of doing this, but don't focus on the feeling just keep focus on your mental picture. eventually you start to feel this crazy floating feeling like you're zipping into the sky. again only focus on the mental picture. i always lose focus at this point but after that floating step i heard it gets pretty wild.

I too struggle with thoughts of anime ass while meditating. Just realize you will never ever stuff your face into those 2D butts and it's wasted mental effort.

I read that book around a decade back, and that anon is apparently a bitch, but that's a decent book. The guy who wrote it was some weeaboo, since Suzuki didn't give a shit, but Suzuki's heart was in the right place: he didn't give two fucks about looking cool or trying to gain popularity for himself or zen, but still didn't want to be mean to the weeaboo, so he let him ask all the questions and gave some polite but brutally honest answers.
Decent introduction to meditation without any superficial bullshit. No unrealistic expectations, no meaningless sidetracks, just focusing on mechanics and not tricking yourself.

Because he didn't give a shit about getting his picture taken, but still had to be polite to his friends or else he'd get guilty about it. Squint, grimace, stare, then relax. Not his book anyway, because that's not what teaching zen is supposed to be about.
I take the awkward look as proof: this man was no navel-gazing shiller.

I don't think him caring about getting his picture taken would make him not look like a downy. Perhaps that would only make matters worse. Try again
