For me, a big part of meditative mind seems to be gentleness. Over the past years, I've gotten in the habit of seeing how others, and I myself, do everything out of a desire to be happy. ("Happy" may not be quite right--"safe" and "okay" are also words that come up; or you could even say "People are trying their best," and leave it at that.)
The softness this perspective creates seems to help a lot to connect me with the mind I associate with meditation practice.
