JKrump, I'd suggest you have a look at Andrea Hess' video posts on meditation. They're a great resource for someone starting out with this practice (and even a great resource for those of us who have been meditating for a while!). Andrea's blog also has other articles relating to meditation that I'm sure you'll find helpful.
