Theres many types of meditation, deep thinking is one, concentrating on one thing is another, and having a completely still/clear mind is the one you probably want and the most powerful one. If you can't reach the third one try aiming for the second one. Some things that work for me are: concentrating on my breathing, counting from 1 to 10 over and over without letting my mind stray, visualizing a white sphere of light in the middle of my head and concentrating on it. Meditation is a test of will power and mental discipline, maybe think of it like learning how to play a musical instrument: it takes alot of practice but the end result is beautiful and worth it.
Hope that helps.
