Help for beginner meditating?

Think the best way for you to start is by getting a zen garden or rubix cube. In a zen garden, you focus on the placement of the rocks or the lines in the sand and you get into this really great atmosphere. The rubix cube might do the same thing but it could also irratate you. Close your eyes, and clear your mind, mang. Some people also say a word over and over and that helps them not to think so much. You don't want to focus on not focusing on anything, just let your mind go free. It will take practice, but it's worth it ;).
