I am posting more about evening meditations because it's hard for me to remember my morning meditation and I don't have time to get online in the morning, anyways. I have also found it hard to meditate with no distractions, but it's good when my parents haven't come home from work yet and I'm in my room. As silly as this might sound, I lit some candles, turned off the lights, and turned my radio to nature sounds so I would be calmer and not hear too much background noise. Okay! Again, I focused a lot on my breathing, which helps. As Vic suggested, I also focused on the attention-at-Sahasrara, and I got sort of a funny feeling. Or lack, thereof. Normally, when I hold my hand over my head, I am very aware that my hand is there and I can almost feel it. Yet after meditating, before opening my eyes, it seems like I can't tell that my hand is there. Hmm... Does that mean anything? See you guys.

It would be nice to have some description of what you felt at the top of the head. Whatever you feel, the objective is to meditate on that feeling at the top of the head, which will expand your awareness and eventually flow down to soothe you. Let me know how it goes!
