try imagining a empty sky, just like your mind should be

thanks but my mind keeps wandering off into other things

If your mind is wandering off, you have to make sure that you have anything that will distract you off. Turn off all T.V's, fans, or anything in that nature that will distract you. You may want to try Alpha Wave Meditation that uses alpha waves to calm and clear your mind. You do not want to focus on clearing your mind too hard as you may hurt yourself more than you are trying to clear your mind. Make sure you are always comfortable when meditating as that also enlists complications.

thanks i will try my best to get somewhere quiet

I have a distractive mind myself. when I was beggining to meditate, I started while I was sleepy, and I would meditate myself to sleep. I did that enough, eventually I no longer needed to do that. I can now meditate whenever. You do not have to sit cross legged. That is a common misconception. You can just lay down how you would normally go to sleep, breathe in through your nose, and out your mouth about ten times, and continue doing that, or use your own way of meditation.

Well close your windows so no noise can get in

close your fan

Get some cotton or those earplugs that dont allow any kind of voice

now focus on 1. hearbeat or 2. breathe

any one of them

in a few minutes you will be in coordination with eiher your breath or heartbeat

while starting keep saying something to yourself like "i seek truth, all spirts that think good of me please show me truth"

or something like "angels/guides, protect me"

try imagining black space or sky

but dont look up near third eye if you activate it really fast you will have bad headaches dont strain eyes :)
