Lots of good suggestions here, so here's my $.02. Maybe one of these ideas will click for you!
Mine is to try one of those light & sound machines, aka "mind machines." You can find them almost anywhere, BUT I suggest you don't buy one of the cheapies. Look for ones like the Photosonix that has lots of bells and whistles. You might not use all the Bs & Ws, but the overall quality of these makes it worth it. The little portables tend to make annoying noises rather than take you into meditation.
I bought mine a little over 10 years ago when a friend said these machines helped her a lot with migraines. It did help with those, but I found it also would almost immediately put people into a meditative state--pick your level, beta, alpha, theta, or delta. My non-meditating hubby was in deep states on the first use. Use it for awhile, say a few weeks, and all you have to do is intend to reach the state you learned, and you're there--without it. You remember what it feels like, and know how to get there.
But Ingrid is also right: meditation is not nearly as difficult to learn as it might seem. Pick one of the types out there--my preference is Transcendental Meditation--and practice. Even if you feel as though you're not getting anywhere with it--trust me, you ARE. The effects are often subtle and gradual. A child doesn't realize or even notice his own growth, but over months and years, the yardstick measurements tell a dramatic story! The same is true with spiritual growth through meditation. Sometimes the results are most dramatic when viewed in hindsight.
