The next step is to control your breathing. Breathe very, very, deep. Breathe very, very slowly. One way to keep your mind clear is to count breathes. After you get to a certain point, stop counting them and start simply mentally tracking "in, out, in, out". At a certain point you can stop with that thinking.

You know, I've never practiced meditation, but I've never had any problem clearing my mind of thought and tuning out the distractions
around me.
How long did you have to practice?
