Relaxation and breathing control i get, but empty your mind? Never able to do that. There is always something in my head. They keep spinning, whisperin, i cannot not think about something. I dont know how.

Some Buddhists continually repeat scripture. You could try focusing on something simple and repetitive that you find relaxing.

I feel like I have really good control over emptying my thoughts but even then, I still can't completely clear my mind. There are always these little tiny half-fragments of thoughts that come and go. I just accept that I can't reach true 0% and don't worry about it. It's not the point of meditation anyway. You just clear your mind insofar as to receive the benefits of meditation.

I'm a Christian and I'll either think on scripture or principles contained therein. Love, joy, peace, patience, forgiveness, etc.

I like mindfulness meditation, which usually focuses on being present, just analyzing incoming sensory information.

Don't engage incoming thoughts, just let them pass by like the wind. They will eventually quiet.

Visualization idea: you are a rock and those thoughts are running water, just let it run off over you, but don't let it move you.

Mindfulness is a good way to break into meditation and it does the same thing anyways.

You're not supposed to block out all thoughts but pay no attention to them.
