Aren't you supposed to "clear" your mind to meditate? How do you do this? Serious question, as my mind never stops and the more I try to "not think" I think more, lol.
I think it's a misunderstanding that you're supposed to NOT think. You're supposed to dissociate yourself from the effects of thinking. Allow the thoughts to exist but not to focus on them.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Focus entire only the sound of your breathing. Keep your focus there and 99% of all thought is stopped. It takes discipline but 5 minutes isn’t long.
Also use blindfolds and noise blocking ear muffs to stop all sensory activity.
Yep. You sit and breathe until your mind clears. It gets easier the more you do it.
Puddy knows how!

Exactly.
You should meditate on the 10 commandments.
Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
