     The most important thing is to just sit.  Have no expectations with respect to immediate returns on your practice.  Another commenter somewhere here said, "Expect nothing."  That's good advice.  Just sitting is reward enough.  Anything else is a blessing.  I like the idea that meditation practice is a marathon, not a sprint.  The benefits will come, but don't try to rush things.  Blessings.
