If you are having problems meditating by yourself, then try meditating in a group. The group is beneficial in a number of ways:
1. It forces you to sit still and be quiet if just due to peer pressure.
2. Group meditations will often have some guidance at the beginning.
3. If you believe in group "energy," then that energy will help your meditation become deeper and more fulfilling.
Note that in group meditations, you are often required to sit in a cross-legged position for a lengthy period of time. This can cause your legs to fall asleep or be painful. You can often improve your comfort with a meditation cushion or a simple meditation bench that allows you to fold your legs underneath while putting the weight of your body on the bench.
