I've heard that you can acheive many glorious things by meditating(reciting on the name and astral projection) and i heard that there are many ways to meditate, but when i try to meditate i can't seem to control my mind.

Does anyone know very effective ways of mediatating easily?

(REPLY) The easiest way to meditate and control the mind is to link a mantra with your breath. So, simply inhale and think SAT and exhale and think NAM. "Hear" the sounds in your mind. Breathe long and deep through your nose, sitting with your spine straight and your eyes closed. continue for 11 minutes. When you mind starts to wander (and it will) - just bring it back to the breath and the mantra. But please, do NOT look to achieve astral projection -- that is spiritual maya, and is not the goal of meditation. Meditation is a sacred practice to enable you to discover the divine light of God within your own soul. You don't want to be distracted by any kind of phenomenon or "powers" ! Approach your meditation with humility and sincerity. SP
