Meaux- practice in the yard, start with something heavy, a jig or something (not a good one, cheapest POS you have in your box.)

Hold the bait in your other hand, start the tip low, create a pendulum motion with the bait, while swooping the tip forward and up. Some people find it easier to turn their rod over so the reel is down. You just have to keep at it until you find what is comfortable for you.
Once you get the basics down, start trying it with your non dominant hand.
