Martin, a number of factors may be involved in why you are not succeeding in meditation. Just as you would not run a 100 metre race right after eating a heavy meal, you should prepare yourself beforehand, mentally and physically, and check that the location is quiet and comfortable.
It may even be down to personality – if you are very active and extrovert, it just may not be the right thing for you at this time. Perhaps another activity may be more suitable, such as yoga, walking or playing a sport.
Personally, I find walking alone and reciting prayers, chants or positive statements very beneficial – the restless, active part of the mind is ‘harnessed’ in focusing on the prayers, allowing the deeper aspects of oneself to bubble up to the surface of one's perception and become more manifest.
