Scouring the Internet for resources on meditation, I found this site http://www.meditationsociety.com/. It is a free site that promotes the virtues of meditation and includes many different modalities.  A great resource for beginners or even someone more experienced as I had not heard of some of the other techniques mentioned. You can print their free newsletter to get an idea of the different types of meditation.

I actually had someone tell me that meditation was not christian and that it involved praying to Buddha or some god. This could not be farther from the truth and is an outright lie perpetuated by ignorant people. When you meditate you are clearing your mind of the the everyday junk and focusing on a single thought, image, idea, etc. That idea can be anything you want or even total emptiness.  If you are Christian, a good meditation might be to focus on some of the teachings of Jesus, or a line from the bible. Anything that helps your mind stop it’s internal chatter will help. Some people say the word “one” or “love” over and over in their heads. Others might visualize a tropical island, or even heaven. Don’t let others scare you from finding inner peace…  don’t let someone else’s mind be your limitation.
