Well... there are indeed very good meditation techniques in the internet, and even in this forums... for example, look at:

Unfortunately though, not everybody is able to control their own minds by themselves, and so in the beggining the need the help from a "professional"... but you could try this techniques by yourself, and see if you succeed, before seeking outside help.
Anyway, i assure you that emptying the mind IS possible... its hard work, and surely there will be times when you think its imposible, but it isnt. With the practice, it becomes easier and easier.
Also... a question about your original post. Do you feel anxiety even when you smoke some relaxing indica? I know that sativas causes anxiety, but indicas are usually used to treat anxiety, and so should not cause it... or at least is what its expected.
And indicas also helps a LOT to meditate... they makes easier to empty the mind, as it becomes slower... in fact, there is a beverage made with weed that is used by monks in the india? tibet? (somewhere near there...) to help their meditation practices.

Well... unfortunately it is not. Unless the mods view your mention of other drugs as done with the only purpose of helping the discussion... but even so i think you will be warned about this. Sad but true...
