Not meditation instruction, but an interesting, if old, read nonetheless.

I occasionally read from "The Awakening" on - I find this inspiring in a fashion...Though the entire book should be read at least once...

I thought perhaps it could be pinned, so it might have that affect for others also. I requested it to be so in the initial post but the mods probably didn't think it pin-worthy. :shrug:

Oh well, at least it can be found using the search function quite easily. I'm glad you found it useful. :sun:

The Dhyāna Mudrā is a nice one that is generally used.

I answer here, but take a rip from another post to simplify it a bit more.

"first is relaxation
then is insight"

First is to clear one's mind of all the noise, the thousands of whirling thoughts to prepare the canvas of ones perception.
Find own methods to do that, but you may also check 'samatha'

then it is to focus ones attention to some intentious considered subjects of ones choice. That is by regarding and steering ones own thought processes.
Find your own methods to do that, but you may also check 'vipassana'.

All other things will fall into the proper place.
