This meditation won't allow you to doze out. It is a simplified version of a technique described by Andrey Levshinov (unfortunately, his page is only available in Russian).
1. Find a wooden stick or staff. Standing on the floor, it should reach your shoulders or be at least 150 cm/5 ft long, and thick enough to be comfortable to grab.
2. Stand comfortably with your feet apart by shoulder width, with one foot somewhat further to the front, knees slightly bent to your comfort.
3. On your right hand, cover your ring and little fingers with your thumb, leaving the other two fingers straight.
4. Put the staff onto the two free fingers and try to keep it standing on them. Use your hips and thighs as levers.
5. The first milestone is to try to keep the staff standing on your fingers for 12 seconds. The ideal time is 144 seconds (12 by 12).
6. Do the same with your left hand.
7. Don't rush it. Make it as safe as you can. The goal is to do it every day rather than to break any 'time records'.
