HELLO SWETHA,

MEDITATION CAN BE EASY OR COMPLEX. ALL DEPENDS ON US AND OUR PSYCHE.
THE MOST EASIEST IS TO SIT OR LIE DOWN IN A DARK QUIET ROOM AND BREATHE COMFORTABLY, TAKING SLOW BUT DEEP AND COMFORTABLE BREATHS, FEELING THE COOL AIR GOING DEEP INTO YOUR BELLY AS YOU INHALE AND WARM USED AIR LEAVING YOUR BODY AS YOU EXHALE. THOUGHTS MAY COME IN A BIG WAY. BUT TRY CONCENTRATING ON YOUR OWN COOL DEEP AND COMFORTABLE BREATH.
SLOWLY LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF YOUR OWN BREATH. THE SOUND OF "SO" AS YOU INHALE AND "HAAM" AS YOU EXHALE.
FEEL THE BREATH CARRYING THE LIFE GIVING PRAANA ENTERING EACH AND EVERY CELL OF YOUR BODY AS YOU INHALE. FEEL THE NEGATIVITIES LEAVING YOUR BODY WITH EACH EXHALATION.
PLEASE PRACTICE EVERY DAY FOR A PERIOD OF ATLEAST 10 MINUTES. SLOWLY WHEN YOU FIND, OVER  A PERIOD OF TIME, YOUR MIND STILLING  YOU CAN GO FOR OTHER COMPLEX METHODS OF MEDITATION.
THE ABOVE TECHINIQUE IS ONE OF THE BEST BECAUSE IT IS VERY SIMPLE FOR ANY ONE TO PRACTICE FOR LIFE.
BUT PLEASE REMEMBER THAT MEDITATION, LIKE FOOD, HAS TO BE INDULGED IN, EVERYDAY, FOR BEST RESULTS.

I confess I can't meditate, everytime I try to just clean my mind and relax, thoughts about this or that pop up... I guess I have to practice much more times in order to "discipline" my mind lol.

you can start with visualization meditation to make it more easy afterwards till you reach the no-thoughts state.even when i meditate i haven't reached the stage where i have cleared my thoughts but i have made progresses.it's all gradual process and much patience and devotion is needed.

Human mind is like a monkey. Most times when we try to discipline our mind.........it revolts and meditation becomes more difficult. What experts say is to watch our mind ........our thoughts. Once we try to watch our mind and our thinking process, the mind slowly becomes less active. Similar to watching a mischievous child who quietens down on our watching him or her, so too, a wandering mind calms down and becomes more 'disciplined'. One thing we should never forget is to watch our hyper active mind and be aware of the thoughts that flood. At the same time we must take care not to get involved in those thoughts but be a spectator. All this comes with constant practice.

i am doing that name meditation to controle my mind but i dont get much success.
