Maranatha Meditation By Swami J.
Positioning the mantra: While remembering the mantra, it is best to allow the mind to gently rest in one physical location rather than allowing it to wander here or there (after preliminary steps of Yoga Meditation).
Heart center: One of the most ideal places is the space between the breasts, the heart center, the home of emotions and feelings, as well as what some call the spiritual heart. Imagine it to be a space about the size of the palm of your hand, allowing the attention to rest within that space, in the cave of the still, silent heart, feeling the coming and going of the mantra.
Eyebrow center: You might feel more drawn to the space between the eyebrows, the third-eye, or the field of mind. Once again, just allow your attention to rest in that space, neither wandering left nor right, nor up or down. It need not be a pin-point spot, but a small field, such as a circular area in that space, where the attention rests. Gradually the mantra will lead you to the spiritual stillness and silence from which it arose.
