The idea is not to "clear" your mind, but to concentrate on one "thought", or better still, an object. The object can be anything; a candle, a little statue. A small bowl of water is good. Put some ink or black water-paint in it. Works better dark!
Keep trying. You'll get there in the end!

still the rush of everday thoughts and concentrate on just one thing and not a myriad of things as your mind unconciously does. thats what meditation does. and brysing, NOT easier to do when its dark as you can fall asleep easier. do it in a somewhat dim room but not what brysing says.

Meditation, like any other art takes lots of practice. I'd have to agree with the above comments, start one step at a time by concentrating on specific thoughts then moving on to none at all. Use incense or music if it helps.

Meditating in the dark can be useful, I don't believe it'll make you fall asleep. It all depends on you preferences and what works for you.

it makes me fall asleep all the time. it has to be very bright for me not to fall asleep. im just putting my opinion out there nef.

I did not mean meditate in the dark! I meant make make the water dark, either by ink or black water-paint. I thought I had made that clear.

Two "makes". Typing error. Sorry!

instead of "thinking" you made it clear its better if you make it as such. my bad. misinterpretation.

Sorry, wolf! I'll try to make things clear next time!
