The whole aim of meditation is,
1. to calm your mind and to give inner peace, and
2. to focus the mind on one thing.
The mind of a normal person is like an uncontrolled monkey jumping from one thought to another. To process all these thoughts a lot of body energy is used. Thus if your mind cease to process thoughts you will be saving a lot of body energy which can be used to cure a lot of ailments in your body. That is why a person who continues to meditate regularly even gets a nice body complexion.
If you sit down and close your eyes you will notice that your mind is jumping from one thought to another. Even though you want to concentrate on your breath you will find other thoughts also coming in between.
In learning to meditate you must first learn to calm your mind. You do this by following every thought that comes into you mind. You must be like a Manager of a Hotel who stands at the entrance and observes the customers coming in. Without getting attached to the thoughts try to observe them. You will find that a thought comes in and that it goes nowhere and another thought follows it - try following that too - with same results. This way you will find that your thoughts gradually subside. Do not try to force out your thoughts.
Of course do not expect results in one or two days. Practise it for at least 40 minutes every day for at least 2 months you find that you have 'killed' your train of thoughts. I have practised for 1 1/2 years and still vagrant thoughts come in.
Thereafter start concentrating on your breath. Notice the breath coming in and going out. You should not concentrate only on the tip of your nose. Notice the breath coming in and thereafter your lungs getting filled and then gradually exhaling the breath.
After you finish that for the day start to think of a person or several persons whom you hate most. Having those people in mind start to think in a compassionate manner "may he be healthy, may he be happy, may he go up in life, may he live long". Keep on doing this for about 10 minutes a day for a few months you will find that you do not get angry even when you have to get angry.
You should be able to get some guidance from the following sites,

2. http://www.meditationexpert.com/ and click on the free articles on yoga meditation - it includes articles on all types of meditations including christian and muslim meditation.

it quite is an adventure that comes from growing to be conscious that our ideas are regarding adventure and don't define who we are. I subsidized into this manner of adventure in Jan07 and located it to be devastating. in case you have extremely entered this state, then it occurred from greater advantageous than meditating some cases. It took me 2 a million/2 years to technique this psychological journey. i'm soft now, in spite of the shown fact that for an prolonged time my sanity and survival have been in question. in actuality, what you have got here across is that we are all not something yet threat on the internal maximum center. it quite is because of the fact we are all dynamically changing, self enhancing machines. Even a theory

Sit (or lie down) and focus solely on your breathing. Allow thoughts to come and go, don't force thought out of your head, acknowledge them and then continue on your breathing. Slowly in through the nose, out of the mouth. Maybe some soft music in the background. Allow any visions or thoughts to flow with your meditation. When you feel you've done enough, stop.

While meditation, I like the imagery of my heart growing with each breath until it's larger than the world. It's beating with the world. I'm bringing peace and love to everyone inside my heart, and I'm experiencing it from those around me.

There is peace in the Lord when you know Him. When He saved me, He put peace and love in my heart. Pray. Ask God to give you peace. Put your Faith and Trust in Him. Jesus never fails.

A loving relationship with Christ...prayer. "...a peace that transcends all understanding.." You're at peace even when it seems you shouldn't be. Prayer & hugs to you...
