If I die today, I will die smiling. So, it was easy for me, all the gates opened for me like I was already welcome.
You need to settle everything. All your regrets, all your burdens you carry with you. You must be able to tell yourself, it is not your fault, it is okay to let go. For the things you did it to yourself, the things you let it happen to you. But it does not apply to the things you did it to others, you must make peace with it. Maybe you could help them in invisible ways if you don't have it in you till you feel like you did it enough. Like an Angel guiding them. Then you don't need to do anything to quiet your Mind to Meditate. Just go to the Balcony and watch the clouds for a few days, then close your eyes. Everything will work for you.
