Go to http://www.fhu.com
The have a meditation you can download for free, and it's the only valid one around (a non-eastern version that doesn't involve some stupid mantra).
The reading material is great on this site also, as it addresses everything that pertains to human problems. I would highly recommend checking it out.

The first and foremost thing to meditate is we should be alone so that there is no diversion of mind. When you close your eyes you are further with your inner self. In this posture concentrate on your natural breathing and simply watch how the breathing feels whether it is heavy, faster, from the left nostril or the right nostril and so on. After some time you will find that the breathing is so silent that only if you concentrate you are able to know that you are breathing. At this moment your mind is balanced. Remain in that state as long as you can. The longer you remain the more you become at peace.

1.Create a quiet, relaxing environment. Turn off any TV sets or other noisy appliances. Some soft, relaxing music is okay, but it isn't necessary. Make sure your cellphone is off.
2.Sit on a chair or a cushion. You don't have to twist your limbs into the lotus position or adopt any unusual postures (but you can if it's comfortable).
3.Close your eyes or find something else calm to look at. You may want to use a small candle flame.
4.Take care to sit erect, allowing for free and easy breathing. This will happen naturally when your knees are below the level of your waist. Don't try lying down, most people will fall asleep meditating in this position.
5.Observe your breath. Don't try to change the way you are breathing, just let your attention rest on the flow of your breath. The goal is to allow the "chattering" in your mind to gradually fade away.
6.Relax every muscle in your body. Don't rush this, as it takes time to fully relax, and relax bit by bit, starting at your toes, and working up to your head.
7.Mentally focus on words that appeal to your linguistic style. If you are visual, use words that evoke pictures. If you are auditory, use words that evoke sound. If you are kinesthetic, use words that evoke feelings.
8.Repeat these words to yourself to encourage the outcome that you desire. For example, repeat to yourself how relaxed you are by saying "I am completely relaxed."
9.Visualize a place that calms you. It can be real or imaginary. This step can replace word repetition, augment it or be excluded from your meditation. One option is to imagine you are at the top of a staircase leading to a peaceful place. Count your way down the steps until you are peaceful and relaxed.

A very simple beginner tip I teach is this. Get comfy on your back on the floor or a couch or bed. Breathe in through nose and out through your mouth ten times deep and steady. Relax as you do. While doing this visualize your self as a hollow log in a cool stream. As the water flows through you it washes away the days tensions and troubles. In through your head and out through your feet. Try to see it and feel the tension leave you. Once you reach this point focus on your breathing. Breathe in through your nose to the count of 5 (for beginners); hold it for the count of 5; then exhale for the count of 5. Repeat. You will find 2 things. One, it is imposible to think about anything else while you count; and two, you get very relaxed and revitalized. Good luck!

When things come to mind, don't try to force them out, but don't give them your full attention. Just observe them and let them go.
