Welcome 
It's always good to be open to new experiences. This is a friendly community where we are glad to help. Whenever you want help, feel free to ask. My specialties are biology, mechanics, and hand-to-hand combat, by the way 
As far as beginning is concerned, there are several routes to take. You can either work towards specific skills, or work on a group of related skills and see what kind of new things they can do once you become more proficient.
The first thing I would try, though, is to learn to meditate. There are as many techniques to meditate as there are people who do it, but I will outline a general method here:
1) Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Under a tree, on your bed, wherever, so long as you won't be interrupted.
2) Find a comfortable pose. Many people like the Full Lotus, Half Lotus, Tree Pose, Mountain Pose, or others (Google these if you don't know what they are), but comfort is the most important aspect. Just sitting cross-legged is perfectly fine.
3) Push the crown of your head toward the ceiling to ensure you are sitting up straight. From this point forward, check your posture frequently. If you feel yourself slouching, push your head to the ceiling.
4) Breathe deeply. Draw the air down as far as it will go; it should end up somewhere just above your navel if you're male, about 2 inches lower if you're female.
5) From this point forward, you should be focusing entirely on your breath except for when you periodically check your posture.
6) Increase the quantity of air you take in, filling your belly first. When it's full, start filling your chest, and so on, until you are taking in as much air as is comfortable. It generally takes beginners between 30 and 120 breaths to do this. Just take your time. Slower is better here.
7) Continue for an additional 30 to 60 breaths. If thoughts or emotions come, do not entertain them. Just feel them, acknowledge them, and <i>let them go</i>. Letting go is the hardest part of all.
That's it for now. Once you learn to meditate on the breath, you can meditate on other things. It's an important part of yoga, tai chi, many psychic abilities, and the creation of psi-balls and shields. Just keep practicing and you will get better in no time.
Generally speaking, the more relaxed you are, the slower your breathing. By counting your breaths per minute, you can guage how relaxed your body and mind are and measure how much your focus has improved.
Again, welcome to the group, and if you have questions, feel free to ask. |

Extremely cool ideas and information. Suoerb. Have to try to that meditation method as a basis for all training (like magic, psionics, demon control etc... ). And one more thing, if you're a smoker, stop smoking! ... because that does some damage on the lungs etc...
