If in short, you need to sit without any thoughts, turning off the internal dialogue for 5 minutes. It is incredibly difficult, almost impossible. But if you train, then this is an achievable result. Then you need to pay attention to an object, such as the tip of the nose and hold attention it for ten minutes without being distracted by other thoughts. If you want to read more detailed instructions, you need to read a book or listen to the audio version of the book - The Attention Revolution (B. Alan Wallace)

Since having a heart attack last year, my doctors in rehab thought it would be good for me and I have been doing meditations now twice a day, after waking and before bed, coupled with a light Tai Chi regimen .. it does help me to be calmer .. there are other noticeable benefits such as improvements in breathing capacity, stamina, better sleep as well as just a sense of feeling better overall .. idk kind of more vibrant ?? .... I am sure that there is a benefit as it relates to poker, and I may try adding another session before playing poker to see if there is something more noticeable.

As far as meditation I do not get very complex ...mostly concentrate on my breathing, sitting, back straight, no lotus position or anything, and counting each exhale till ten then starting over ... I will do this for 20 minutes at a time. I have now been doing this for roughly little over a year now.
