I will go and sit on my bed and try to meditate for 15 mins - hour when I renew my efforts, but nothing of substance seems to come. It just feels like I chose to sit on my bed and do nothing for a half an hour. I have been able to think of "nothing" for minutes on end until a car drives down my street or I hear the dog stirring downstairs. I have also tried focusing on specific things, but this is more difficult than thinking of nothing for me since I start automatically extrapolating likely future scenarios around whatever I tried to focus on.
This matter is of the utmost importance to me, yet I can't seem to figure it out. This is the same problem I have with starting ANYTHING new: I just don't know where to start.
Try to focus on widening your energyflow (base-up), that way its impossible to not see changes/progress.
Get a smoky quartz (doesnt have to be big), that one radiates with the lower spine area's energy..
If you can not actualy feel your energies, it means you are lacking energy generation/concentration...
aka warmth energies.
