95 Practicing a Mantra Meditation - a podcast by William Cooper, M.Th., LPC

In this podcast we explore and practice one type of mantra meditation.  This is a very easy yet powerful meditation and a great starting meditation for those new to meditation.  This meditation utilizes mantras or sounds that have no meaning, therefore, the mind can't get involved with them.  Sit down, relax, take a nice breath with your eyes closed and repeat your mantra silently.  Now every time a thought comes up, rather than become involved with it you simply repeat your mantra instead and let both your mantra and your thought go.  Since you are not being captured by your thoughts you are free to relax deeper and deeper into your Being. Other variations on this meditation are the "Relaxation Response" and the Christian version called "Centering Prayer".
