i meant it as in the language your boen with. i asked becaue ingatious says english isnt his mother tounge, so i want to know what language he speaks.
heres a technieque i made that helps me:
i sit a the edge of my bed cross legged. make a mudra (hand sign) and close my eyes and go to my "special place". i think of myself sitting on the grass and the feel of the wind slightly blowing. the water fall sounds and the birds singing. i also do chakra meditation here. take deep breaths and think about the air going in and out of your lungs.
the radio is on when im meditating, but i turn it down, so i can still here it but its too low to make out what the people are saying.

Try to watch the thoughts that keep coming, and realize you ain't them, perceive where they come from, try to watch the source with your eyes closed. That will help to stop them.

Mothertongue most likely means the language that your parents speak, not the langue of the country that you were born in.

heres one to clear thoughts... sit with your eyes closed and look up at your third eye but dont try to open OR close it. everything you see should be black. when a colored spot starts to appear, just keep coloring it black again. you'll get sidetracked a few times but when you start getting into the groove of 'blacking' out you'll have a clear head.

Another easy technique is to concentrate on your heart. Sit or lay down, do a few deep breaths & then put all your focus on your heart beats.whenever you notice any thoughts coming up, just let them go & go back to concentrating on your heart beating.This is also a good way to get your heart chakra spinning(activated) -when your`e trying to AP also.
Another one... Imagine that you are climbing down a ladder,put all your focus on seeing your hands & feet moving & stepping onto each rung of the ladder.By doing this(imagining you are climbing down the ladder), you are also bringing down & lowering your brain activity into deeper mind states.The lower you go , the deeper you are going into your mind,while keeping your consciousness alert. Also good for AP attempts...

I make sure I sit in a comfortable position. To me, cross legged isn't the most comfortable position to sit in, so I sit in a chair straight up, feet flat on the floor, hands on my lap and spine straight. Also, I put on very soft music (Usually just Native American flutes or Nature Sounds and such.) I also light some candles and some insence sometimes because I think they help me get into a meditative mood, and if the room is put into a mood sutible for meditation, it's easier.

When i meditate, i just lay or sit down. (if your not comfortable you'll only focus on how uncomfortable the position your in is) Then I just relax, breathe slowly. And do so until i hit a state of mind between asleep and awake. However if your tired, it probably won't work because you'll probably just fall asleep.
