Meditation Troubles Options

Well personally I like to meditate it relaxes me etc. but I have a great amount of trouble focusing on things. Either i have to many thoughts race through my mind or I keep opening my eyes. I can't seem to keep them shut. It's actually kind of odd.. I guess because I get so relaxed I maybe forget to keep my eyes closed? I'm not sure but earlier today I tried to contact my spirit guide and because I couldn't keep my eyes shut I couldn't talk to her. I saw her come over to me and I tried to talk to her but it didn't work. I don't even know if that was my spirit guide or not? maybe what I perceived her to look like? Well i'm not sure but could anyone give me some techniques that could help out and let me stay in meditation longer?

Thank you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ahhh yes you can push thoughts out of your mind. I meant exactly what you said though.Just bring your attention back to whatever your concentrating on. In certain instances its better to think on a topic that pops up. If it is something you have issues with that keeps comeing back to the front of your mind. Its better sometimes to sort out the issue in your mind before trying to get into a deep meditation. To the shaman this is called recapitulation. Its a way to clean your mind so there is really very little to intrude on your still dark waters. after much time you come to a point where all issues in life you face immediatly so it never returns.
