Mind is the master weaver, both of the interior garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance.

This is one of the meditation tips offered on my Stress Busting E-Course .
It is very simple yet effective and a bit like playing Musical Statues - only without the music.
The object of the exercise is to sit comfortably, close your eyes and to try and keep your body perfectly still.
You don't have to empty your mind. In fact, you can think about whatever you want and let your thoughts go where they like. However you may find that the simple act of sitting motionless may be enough to still your thoughts.
As you concentrate on not moving your body or fidgeting - which some people may find difficult - you may discover that your mind is no longer racing along thinking fast thoughts because your attention is focused on keeping your body still. And often where your body leads, your mind will follow (and the other way round, of course too).
If you find it difficult to keep still, you can practise this exercise for five minutes initially and then gradually lengthen the period that you keep still over the next few days.
If you find the exercise really easy, you can sit completely still for anything from fifteen minutes to half an hour and beyond.
You will find that the act of sitting still will also still your thoughts and centre your being.
