Question about trance or meditation

[someguy]

Thanks morning son,


I guess the book is more about what to do once you reach that trance or meditation state of mind?


So perhaps the first step is really mastering getting to a meditation or trance like state of mind, so perhaps the art of dreaming shouldnt be the first book
to read, maybe I should read up on mastering silencing my mind first, and if so, is there a castaneda book that covers that? or anything you can recommend?




I have actually heard about the counting/breathing method to meditation, is there anything you can recommend?




any help is appreciated
