I tried mantra too. And a few other "things to focus on". I experimented.
I ended up using breath too. Specifically, I used the feeling of breath in the tip of my nose.
FYI. That focusing type meditation is what the Buddhists call "Samatha". It's also called Anapanasati, Concentration Meditation, Samprajnata Dhyana, and a few other names, depending on who's talking.
There's another kind of meditation too. The Buddhists call it "Vipassana". It's pretty great. It's another thing to do with your attention. Something other than focusing and concentrating.
Huh, interesting. I'll look into it. Might help nail down how I do it cus it helps, but not much.
