Meditation Step 1

Hi guys just putting down some steps to meditating and what you should experience in each step.
It would be good to hear any other people's experiences, and visualisations they use to help them meditate.
1. Experience of recognising thoughts
As one tries to place mind on the object of meditation, a continuous stream of thought will arise as a reaction, which cannot, estimated by one's gross mind. Actually one's mind is burdened with such thoughts all the time, but since one never closely placed the mind in meditation they were not noticed previously. Having made the effort to do so the mind in meditation has become aware of these thoughts which previously seemed non existent. Not knowing this to be so, the mediator will be discouraged to notice so many thoughts disturbing this meditation. This however, is the first and most important experience of meditation, which is similar to watching water falling off a steep mountain.
