There are two hindrances to mediation. First is Body and second is Mind.
How to go beyond body? For that first you have to choose a very comfortable seating posture. You can also seat on chair. Seat very relax & close your eyes. After some time, in some parts of body, pain starts or some where itching starts. What is to be done in such conditions? If pain or itching starts, just observe it from distance, like you don't have any relation with it. If you keep patience, the pain or itching will stop automatically after some time. You have to do practice for this regularly. After some days of practice you will reach the state of complete comfort & will have no pain or itching. If you can also maintain the same time & place, then that also helps in meditation.
Once you are comfortable with body then comes the mind. What happens with mind? You flows with thoughts. You identify your self with thoughts & flow wherever they take you and you forgets that you are doing meditation. In between you remembers that you are doing meditation and you start separating your self from thoughts. You try to view the thoughts from distance. For fraction of seconds you view the thoughts from distance and again you get involved with thoughts and start flowing with them. This process of flowing with thoughts and remembering about meditation repeats number of times.
In this case it is important to note that when you are flowing with thoughts, you are not doing meditation. When you are watching your thoughts from distance at that time only you are doing meditation.
