Meditation issues!!

I am worried that I don't have the ability to meditate any more. I am nearly 30, does that mean its too late for me? I can't seem to stop the mind, I can stop the chatter but I can't stop images or distant thoughts. Does anyone have any tips for this? After watching the meditation videos on this site I am now worried what will happen to me when I die if I can't meditate. The last time I meditated was when I was 11 and I found myself falling backwards down a purple tunnel, It really frightened me because I thought I was dying, so then I never tried it again until now.

I'd be grateful for any advice. rex

Hy !! U have all capacity for meditation yet, all i have to say to you is don't try to stop the mind, because mind is a great trick, more you try to stop the mind, more mind thinks. You just relax, see all directions where the mind goes and in very seeing of it, mind simply stops. Just be a witness on yourself. And yes your expirience, meditation is dying, meditation is death of ego,mind,desire...
