   Yes, a friend who has taken courses on meditation and put me on to this short book:

   https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Meditation-Pathway-Personal-Free...

   I wake early to meditate for 20 minutes before I do anything else. The book describes the technique where you concentrate on a mantra, in this case 'I AM'. If your mind start on thoughts, you gently come back to the mantra but never fighting the thoughts.

   The book is pretty short and is a good read for someone taking up meditation (I've never done it before and I found it to be a good primer).

   Together with this meditation in the morning, I exercise immediately after. Been doing it for a few months now and I have found that my days get off to a really positive start. I have more energy and less likely to be easily agitated.

   Used to be similar for me.

   Until I discovered deep meditation (http://www.amazon.com/Deep-Meditation-Pathway-Personal-Freed...). Summarized: Repeat a chant, such as 'I am' (or any phrase of your choosing) for about 5 minutes, focusing on what the chant-phrase sounds like in your mind.

   With the phrase 'I am', you would try to feel the sounds 'A-Y-A-M' being pronounced in your mind, without ever vocalizing it.

   Gets me napping within 5 minutes, wake up charged up for a massively productive session. I hope you'll give it a try sometime.

   For those who want to give it a try I'd highly recommend this (short) book http://amzn.to/11zPRcJ (Deep Meditation - Yogani), of all I've read on the subject this was the best by far -no religion, common sense, and simple method.
