Everyone can do meditation?
In short, the answer is "Yes".
The sex, age, nationality, religion, past experience: all these things are unimportant. Everyone can learn to meditate. You do not need to go to the Himalayas, or give all your money, or find a guru, or spend all your days in an ashram.
You think you have to be really "spiritual" (what that may mean) to practice meditation? Forget it! You do not need an "innate ability" to think that you need a special power to learn to ride a bike or using a computer. For some, meditation is easier than for others, but everyone can do and enjoy.
All meditation ask is a little effort and belief that there are things he's worth persevering. Sometimes your meditation practice will have immediate benefits (which goes well with our culture of instant gratification), but other times it will be a challenge for you. At these moments, the best thing to do is to remember that to grow flowers, we must also dig and remove weeds. Such work is not immediately gratifying, but the effort that we pay is, and with interest. And of course there will be many times will meditate like taking a warm bath: you come out calm, full of energy and fresh mind.
Remember this: your problems become your masters, your obstacles will become your strong points, and the gravel path of meditation will become the way to greater satisfaction. Learning is not always easy, but is always beneficial in the long term. Abandon the idea of failure and embrace the notion that everything you experience in meditation is the feedback: the way will become a thousand times more enjoyable and rewarding.
You'll find that you will reap the benefits of meditation, even if you do make that 10 minutes a day (although if you make more, you'll benefit more)
The important thing is to persist, to continue despite the ups and downs all natural experience.
